See the carpology collection of the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh like never before.
Photographer Levon Biss painstakingly examined 3,500 historical specimens to select just 81 for inclusion in the exhibition, highlighting those with the most striking evolutionary adaptations and stories.
Many of the specimens date back to the early 19th Century and were collected by the pioneering botanists of their time, including those on the Challenger Expedition in 1872.
The images allow the audience to appreciate and study these tiny specimens in levels of detail normally only available with the use of microscopes.
