Reason

A high resolution image of the anthers and stigmas. Anthers and Stigma are part of the essential whorls of a flower. Anthers form the male reproductive organs, Stamens. Whereas stigma are part of the carpels which are the female reproductive organs.

The hairy outgrowths on the surface of the stigma are resolved to a great extent. These aid in successful pollination.
