Pollen Gallery

Overview

Pollen comes in many shapes and sizes. These are just a few of the thousands of examples. Click on any of the pollen grains in the gallery below and use the virtual microscope tool to explore the amazing shapes and textures of pollen.

These images are all from a scanning electron microscope (S.E.M.). We also have a companion story about pollen and how it is used to solve crimes that you might like to check out called Pollen - Nature's Tiny Clues.
