Cards from Science Photo Library
Etched glass, letter R x5
False-colour scanning electron micrograph of etched glass. The textured area surrounding the letter R is the etched surface, which appears frosted to the naked eye. The effect is achieved using a corrosive substance such as hydrofluoric acid, and has applications in the marking of car windscreens allowing identification of stolen vehicles.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of etched glass, specifically five letter R's. The false-color scanning electron micrograph reveals the mesmerizing texture surrounding each letter, which appears frosted to the naked eye. This effect is achieved through a meticulous process involving the use of a corrosive substance like hydrofluoric acid. Etched glass has various applications, one of which includes marking car windscreens for security purposes. By utilizing this technique, stolen vehicles can be easily identified and recovered. The magnification level of x5 at 35mm size allows us to appreciate the fine details and craftsmanship involved in creating such markings on synthetic materials. Chemistry enthusiasts will find this image particularly intriguing as it highlights the chemical compound responsible for etching glass surfaces. The corrosion caused by hydrofluoric acid creates an aesthetically pleasing textured area around each letter R. Science Photo Library has once again captured a visually stunning moment in science with this photograph. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects like glass can possess hidden wonders when viewed under high magnification. Let your imagination wander as you explore the world of etched glass and its potential applications beyond mere aesthetics or security measures.
