Sandstone, thin section, polarized LM
Sandstone. Polarised light micrograph of a thin section of sandstone. Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock, one formed from the deposition over time of small particles of other rocks. Pressure from overlying layers compacts the particles together to form a solid substance. Magnification: x8 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of sandstone under polarized light. The image, taken using a light microscope, reveals a thin section of sandstone in all its glory. Sandstone is a fascinating type of sedimentary rock that forms over time through the accumulation and compaction of tiny particles from other rocks. The mesmerizing patterns and textures seen here are a result of the immense pressure exerted by overlying layers, which compresses these particles together into a solid substance. Magnified at x8 with a 35mm size lens, this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable details that are often invisible to the naked eye. As we delve into geology and earth science, images like this provide invaluable insights into our planet's geological history. They offer glimpses into ancient landscapes and help scientists unravel clues about Earth's past environments. These microscopic photos serve as reminders that even seemingly ordinary objects can hold extraordinary secrets when examined closely. Through polarized light microscopy, we gain access to hidden worlds within rocks and minerals – worlds filled with stunning colors, intricate structures, and untold stories waiting to be discovered. Science Photo Library brings us yet another awe-inspiring glimpse into nature's wonders with this striking image – an invitation for us to explore further and marvel at the complexity found within our own planet.
