  • The stigma of Cannabis sativa. The stigma is the structure on the female flower that catches the male pollen. The sexual transfer of genetic materials is critical for creating seeds.  This Scanning Electron Microscope image (SEM) has false color applied. The stigma is 1 mm in diameter in this image.

  • Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a marijuana (Cannabis sativa) plant, showing glandular cells, called trichomes. These trichomes are on teh surface of the leaf. They secrete a resin containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug. The circular cell structure a tthe center of the frame is 40 um in diameter.

  • A scanning electron microscope image of the football shaped bract of the female  cannabis (Cannabis sativa) flower. The oval bract structure houses the stigma and is responsible for producing seeds when the flower has been pollinated. This bract structure is also the location of the highest concentration of cannabinoid compounds on the plant.  This site is also the location of the highest concentration of THC. There are a number of different types of cell structures called trichomes in this image. The thorn-like trichomes use a physical defense while the circular glandular trichomes use chemical defense. Combined, these defenses keep insects and animals from eating the plant. Each circular glandular trichome is 50 um in diameter in this image.

  • A cannabis seedling showing the first set of true leaves. Imaged with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). False color has been applied. The marijuana plant produces tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug. The filed of view in this image is 4 mm wide.

  • Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a marijuana (Cannabis sativa) plant, showing glandular cells, called trichomes. These are capitate trichomes that have stalks. They secrete a resin containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug. Magnification: 252X when printed 10 cm wide.

  • Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a sample if ice water hash or hashish. Shown in the image is a pile of glandular trichomes that have been concentrated in a unique process. Leaves with very high concentrations of stalked glandular trichomes are cooled in ice water then agitated. The agitation breaks off the trichomes, which in turn sink, to the bottom of the water.  Once separated from the water and dried, the ice water hash has some of the highest concentrations of THC of any physical separation process.  Since the stalked glandular trichomes are the location of the highest concentration of THC this technique in recent years has become very popular. The marijuana (Cannabis sativa) plant contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug. The spherical cells in this sample are 60 um in diameter.

  • Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a grain of pollen from Cannabis sativa plant. The pollen is 20 um in diameter and is scattered by air currents.  The pollen of the cannabis plant is almost identical to the hops plant, a close relative.
