For all their scientific importance and usefulness, there’s one reason why flowers are universally adored — their beauty.
These images were taken by artist Giles Revell with the help of Dr Lauren Howard at the Natural History Museum. They were produced using a micro-CT scanner, a mini-version of the ones found in hospital X-ray departments. The device sends X-ray beams through the subject, with the resultant image showing the different densities of tissue inside it.
