A Beautifully Animated Journey Inside a Redwood Leaf

The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco has created a really beautiful animation that travels down into the molecular layer of a leaf from a redwood tree where the inner workings of active scientifically accurate photosynthesis come into view.

Take a journey inside a leaf of a redwood tree. Enter the stoma and view photosynthesis on a molecular level, knowing that the animation prioritizes scientific accuracy.
