Human skin, polarised light micrograph
Human skin. Polarised light micrograph of a section through human skin showing hair follicles (black). The top layer of the skin, the epidermis (red) consists of dead cells that are constantly sloughed offand replaced from below. Beneath this is the dermis which contains blood vessels and nerves (not seen)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human skin under polarised light. The image reveals a section through human skin, with the prominent presence of hair follicles depicted in black. The topmost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, is highlighted in red and consists of dead cells that are continuously shed and replaced from beneath. Below this layer lies the dermis, which houses blood vessels and nerves (although not visible in this particular micrograph), contributing to its vital role in our body. The pink hues within this mesmerizing print represent an amalgamation of biological elements such as keratinised structures and various microscopic subjects. Through magnification using a light microscope, we gain access to a world unseen by the naked eye - revealing details that would otherwise remain hidden. The significance of understanding our own biology is exemplified by images like these. They provide us with invaluable insights into how our bodies function at a cellular level while showcasing the complexity and interconnectedness present within every part of us. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment frozen in time - reminding us all of the remarkable intricacies that make up our very being.
