Coloured SEM of a hair emerging from the skin
Hair shaft. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a hair (red) emerging from the skin. The surrounding layer of skin has a typically scale- like surface. Hairs grow from follicles in the underlying layer of the skin (the dermis). The portion of the hair protruding from the skin is made up of dead tissue, largely the protein keratin. Hair grows at around one centimetre every month. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a hair emerging from the skin. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we can observe a vibrant red hair protruding from the surface of the skin. The surrounding layer of skin presents a scale-like texture, characteristic of its composition. Hairs, as we learn from this image, grow from follicles located in the underlying layer of our skin known as the dermis. Interestingly, only the portion of hair visible above the skin is composed of dead tissue primarily made up of keratin protein. This vital protein gives strength and structure to our hair strands. The magnification used for capturing this remarkable image remains unknown; nevertheless, it allows us to appreciate even minute details that are invisible to our naked eyes. It is fascinating to note that human hair grows at an average rate of approximately one centimetre per month. This natural process reflects our body's continuous renewal and regeneration. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into human anatomy through their exceptional photography skills. As we marvel at this mesmerizing SEM print, let us acknowledge and celebrate the wonders hidden within ourselves – in every strand of hair on our heads.
