EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of clothes moth scales, captured using advanced scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technology. The image depicts a close-up view of wing scales from the clothes moth species Tineola bisselliella, revealing an array of vibrant colors and delicate patterns. At a magnification of x250 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this SEM micrograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable details that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Each scale appears like a tiny work of art, resembling overlapping tiles on a roof or feathers on a bird's wing. The iridescent hues range from soft pastels to rich metallic tones, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. The large group of objects in this photograph represents countless individual scales covering the wings of these small insects. It is fascinating to observe how nature has intricately designed such minute structures with precision and elegance. Steve Gschmeissner's expertise in capturing scientific images shines through in this stunning piece. His ability to combine technical skill with artistic vision results in photographs that not only educate but also inspire awe for the wonders hidden within our natural world. This mesmerizing print serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant creatures can possess extraordinary beauty when viewed through the lens of science and technology.
