EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Skin Surface, SEM C017 / 8494" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human skin. The image showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) that reveals vapour entrapments and sweat globules on the surface of our skin. The outermost layer is composed of dead and dying skin cells from the underlying epidermis. These cells play a crucial role in safeguarding the delicate epidermal cells from external environmental factors. Through this microscopic lens, we witness the remarkable complexity and resilience of our body's protective shield. With a magnification of x51 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to appreciate even the tiniest details. The width of the entire image measures only 1.99 mm, highlighting just how intricate and densely packed our skin's structure truly is. As we explore this visually stunning depiction, it becomes evident that dermatology and dermatological research heavily rely on advanced technologies like scanning electron microscopy to unravel the mysteries hidden within our bodies. This photograph serves as a testament to both scientific innovation and artistic beauty. "Skin Surface, SEM C017 / 8494" by SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY takes us on an awe-inspiring journey through layers upon layers of cellular architecture—lines intersecting with lines, forming patterns unique to each individual. It reminds us that beneath what may seem ordinary lies extraordinary complexity waiting to be discovered.
