Record stylus playing record, SEM
Record stylus playing record. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the needle (stylus) of a record player in a groove on a record. The grooves in the plastic vary in shape, and this is detected by the stylus and transformed to produce a variation in a sound output. The original groove was produced by reversing the process to record a sound input. In this way, a piece of music or song can be recorded as variations in a groove marked on a plastic disc. This record can then be played to reproduce the original sound. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process behind playing a vinyl record. The image captures a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a record stylus delicately placed in the groove of a plastic disc. As the needle glides through the grooves, it detects variations in shape, which are then transformed into an enchanting sound output. The grooves on this familiar object, commonly known as an LP or album, were initially created by reversing the recording process to capture sound input. This innovative technology allows for music or songs to be immortalized as unique patterns etched onto these plastic discs. When played back using a turntable and stylus like the one depicted here, these grooves reproduce the original sound with astonishing accuracy. Through this SEM magnification, we gain insight into how this technological marvel works at microscopic levels. It is truly remarkable to witness how tiny imperfections on a surface can produce such rich and vibrant audio experiences. This mesmerizing image serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with analog technology and its ability to transport us through time with every spin of a record. Let it inspire you to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating music and the ingenuity behind capturing it on vinyl records.
