Hair shaft and skin, SEM
Hair shaft and skin. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a hair shaft (dark brown, left) growing from the surface of human skin. A hair shaft grows from a hair follicle (not seen) below the surface of the skin. Hair is made up of a fibrous protein called keratin. The outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum, also consists of keratinized dead cells (light brown) that are here detaching from the body. The squamous (flattened) cells that make up the stratum corneum arise from the lower, living layers of skin. Magnification: x167 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a hair shaft and the surrounding skin, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The dark brown hair shaft is seen emerging from the surface of human skin, originating from a hair follicle beneath. Composed primarily of keratin, a fibrous protein, this healthy strand epitomizes the natural beauty and resilience of our body's integumentary system. The image also reveals the outermost layer of skin known as the stratum corneum. In shades of light brown, these keratinized dead cells are shown detaching from the body, highlighting their role in maintaining our epidermal health. Interestingly, these squamous or flattened cells originate from deeper layers of living skin. With a magnification level set at x167 for this 6x7cm-sized print, every minute detail becomes visible to us. This photograph not only offers an insight into our anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are. Captured by Science Photo Library through advanced SEM technology, this image represents both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation for the wonders found within ourselves. It invites viewers to marvel at nature's complexity while contemplating their own unique composition on microscopic levels.
