Babys nail, SEM
Babys nail. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a babys nail. Nails are keratinised structures (they contain the protein keratin) made up of dead tissue bound together to form a hard, protective structure on the tips of the fingers and toes. The growth of a fingernail is similar to that of a hair, another keratinised structure that grows on a human body. Nails form a layered structure, with the bottom layer attached to the skin. Several layers are seen here

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a baby's nail, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the colorful layers that make up this keratinized structure, which serves as a protective barrier on the fingertips and toes. Just like hair, nails are composed of dead tissue bound together by the protein keratin. The photograph provides an insightful glimpse into the development and anatomy of human nails during early stages of life. It highlights how these keratinous structures grow in layers, with the bottom layer firmly attached to the skin. The SEM technique allows us to appreciate the fine textures and biological complexity present in even seemingly ordinary parts of our bodies. Through this image, we gain a deeper understanding of normal nail formation and healthy infant development. It reminds us that every aspect of our anatomy is intricately designed for specific functions. This scientific marvel not only captivates biologists but also sparks curiosity among those interested in exploring our own biology at microscopic levels. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual representation that merges artistry with scientific exploration. This stunning photograph invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its potential for advancing our knowledge about human anatomy.
