Ice Nucleation Throughout a Bean Leaf

Credit: SCIENCE SOURCE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

Caption: Infrared video thermography showed that a drop of pure (deionized) water placed on the right lobe of this bean leaf froze more than 2 minutes later than the leaf. A droplet of ice-nucleating bacteria put on the left lobe was the first to freeze, inducing ice nucleation throughout the leaf.

Release details: Model release not required. Property release not required.
