Fine Art Print : Egg shell material, SEM
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Egg shell material, SEM
Egg shell material. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the lattice making up the fine structure of an egg shell. Most of an egg shell is calcium carbonate. Hard-shelled eggs are produced by birds and some reptiles. The shell protects the embryo inside and also controls the passage of air in and out of the egg through pores. Thousands of these tiny pores cover the egg shell surface. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate lattice structure of an egg shell, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The fine details of this egg shell material are brought to life through vibrant colors, revealing the fascinating composition that forms the protective covering of eggs. Composed mainly of calcium carbonate, egg shells serve as a shield for developing embryos and regulate the exchange of air through numerous tiny pores dotting their surface. Birds and certain reptiles rely on these hard-shelled eggs for reproduction, ensuring the safety and viability of their offspring. The mesmerizing mesh-like pattern depicted in this image highlights both the functional and aesthetic aspects of nature's design. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary objects like egg shells possess remarkable complexity when observed at such magnification levels. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the microscopic world but also sparks curiosity about how food is formed in its most basic form. Egg shells play a vital role in our daily lives as they are commonly used in cooking and baking various dishes. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this print serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in everyday objects when viewed from an extraordinary perspective.
