Egg shell membrane, SEM
Egg shell membrane, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Broken egg shell, showing details of the membrane (across bottom) that is on the inside of the shell wall. The shell protects the embryo that develops inside, and controls the passage of air in and out of the egg Hard-shelled eggs are produced by birds and some reptiles. This egg shell is from a chickens egg. Magnification: x1100 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an egg shell membrane, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The broken egg shell reveals the delicate membrane that lines the inside of the shell wall. This remarkable structure serves as both protection for the developing embryo and a regulator of air passage in and out of the egg. Hard-shelled eggs are primarily produced by birds and certain reptiles, with this particular specimen originating from a chicken's egg. When printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image is magnified to an impressive x1100, allowing us to appreciate its stunning complexity. The photograph not only highlights the aesthetic beauty found within nature but also provides valuable insights into various scientific disciplines. From ornithology to zoology, biology to materials science, this image offers researchers a wealth of information on topics such as reproductive biochemistry, biomechanics, and even calcium carbonate properties. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this snapshot that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific exploration. It invites viewers to marvel at nature's wonders while simultaneously encouraging further investigation into these fascinating biological structures.
