Pollen on a marigold flower

Marigold (Calendula officinalis) is a traditional medicinal plant (e.g. wound healing) but can also be simply used for food coloring (e.g. for cheese and butter).

The pollen was photographed in a scanning electron microscope and the image was colored with artificial intelligence (AI & Deep Art).
