Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Coloured SEM of an ant on some reflective foil
Reflective material. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an ant on some reflective material. The material (magenta and orange) is designed to be " retro-reflective", that is, reflect any light which falls on it straight back at its source. This sort of material is used on the clothing of people who have to work in dangerous situations in low light, typically on roads or railway tracks, where visibility is essential. Similar techniques are also used on road signs and cats eyes. Magnification: x20 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an ant delicately perched on some reflective foil. The vibrant magenta and orange hues of the material instantly catch the eye, but its purpose goes far beyond aesthetics. This retro-reflective material is ingeniously designed to bounce back any light that touches it directly towards its source. Intriguingly, this type of material finds its application in ensuring safety for individuals working in perilous conditions with limited visibility. Think about workers on roads or railway tracks who rely on their clothing to be highly visible even in low-light situations. By donning garments made from this remarkable fabric, they enhance their visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. But it doesn't stop there - similar techniques are employed in road signs and cats eyes as well. These tiny yet essential details play a significant role in guiding drivers safely through darkened roads or unfamiliar territories. The magnification at which this image was captured allows us to appreciate the intricate details of both the ant and the reflective material surrounding it. It serves as a reminder that science can uncover beauty even within seemingly mundane subjects like ants and foils. This stunning photograph, brought to you by Science Photo Library, not only captures our attention but also encourages us to contemplate how innovative materials can contribute to our safety and well-being without compromising style or functionality.
