Beautiful and particular macro, fortunately you wrote that it is mauve pollen
why at a glance from the idea of seeing the coronavirus under a microscope :-D
Bravissimo to enhance detail and colors, congratulations for the whole series.
Hello, Mary.

Thank you Maryas. I hadn't thought about the coronavirus, but you're right, the shape is similar. It could be that the function of the bumps is the same in the two cases. That is, the protuberances of the pollen have the function of favoring the adhesion to the stigma of the pistil of the flower of another plant to be fertilized. In the same way, unfortunately, the bumps that we see in the photos with the electron microscope of the virus are proteins that are intended to attach to specific membrane proteins that are mainly found in the lungs, but also in other cells.
