Note:The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruit' is a unique photographic study of seeds and fruit in mind-blowing magnification that celebrates the wonders of nature and science. Each picture captures the breathtaking and beautiful details of the world of carpology, the study of seeds and fruit. Each picture in this book is created from approximately 8,000 individual photographs. The samples come from the carpological collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. After searching through thousands of specimens, Biss has selected the 60 most striking samples to be featured in this book. As with Microsculpture, each image will be captioned with scientific information and it will be on exhibition for the first time at the Royal Botanic Garden in Spring 2021.
