Molecular revolution

Glowing balls of pollen stick to the stigma of a four o’clock flower in this multiple-exposure composite image by Robert Markus of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The picture was made with fluorescent light, which caused the pollen to light up blue. Also known as marvel of Peru flowers, four o’ clock flowers (Mirabilis jalapa) are used to make food coloring.
