Photographic Print : Mercury droplets
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Mercury droplets
Drops of mercury. Droplets of mercury of various sizes on a black surface. Mercury is used in electrical apparatus, catalysis, poisons and dental amalgams. Mercury, or quicksilver, is a dense, silvery metal which is liquid at room temperature. It freezes at -38.9 degrees Celsius. The metal has a surface tension which is so high as to make the smaller droplets form almost perfect spheres. Mercury is obtained commercially from the mineral cinnabar (mercury sulphide). Mercury, along with most of its compounds, is highly toxic to humans. Mercury is a transition metal belonging to the zinc group of the periodic table and has the chemical symbol Hg

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of mercury droplets on a sleek black surface. The image captures droplets of varying sizes, each one glistening with the silvery allure of this unique liquid metal. Mercury, also known as quicksilver, is a dense and lustrous element that defies convention by remaining in its liquid state at room temperature. The remarkable surface tension of mercury gives rise to these almost perfect spherical shapes, reflecting light in an enchanting manner. Obtained commercially from the mineral cinnabar, which contains mercury sulphide, this transition metal belongs to the zinc group on the periodic table. While it may be tempting to admire its aesthetic qualities alone, it's important to note that mercury and its compounds are highly toxic to humans. Despite its hazardous nature, mercury finds applications in various fields such as electrical apparatuses and dental amalgams due to its unique properties. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder of both the elegance and potential dangers associated with this intriguing chemical element. Through capturing these delicate droplets suspended in time, Science Photo Library invites us into a world where science meets artistry – showcasing the wonders and complexities found within our natural world.
