Image of Virginia strawberry

Description:

Under a relatively low magnification of 102x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted the clustered exterior appearance of commonly growing wild strawberries, Fragaria virginiana, that were found growing in Lullwater Park, inside the Decatur, Georgia suburbs. The F. virginiana fruiting bodies are very similar to the more familiar store-bought varieties, and those who've tasted these fruits say that they're quite delicious.
