Coloured SEM of DNA security beads on a diamond
DNA security beads. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of CypherMark DNA (deoxyribonucleic eic acid) security beads in the crevice of a diamond. The microscopic beads are used to uncounterfeitably mark both liquids and solid surfaces as they have a unique DNA sequence attached to them. Here, some beads have lodged in a surface cavity of the diamond. Analysis of the DNA code allows the diamond to be identified, protecting against theft. CypherMark beads can also be used in sprays to mark criminals and in the identification of the source of oil spills. Photographed at Cypher Science Ltd. in Cardiff, Wales. Magnification: x1240 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of DNA security beads on a diamond. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the mesmerizing beauty of CypherMark DNA security beads nestled within the crevice of a diamond. These minuscule beads possess an unparalleled ability to mark both liquids and solid surfaces, ensuring foolproof security measures due to their unique DNA sequence attachment. In this image, some of these remarkable beads have found their way into a surface cavity on the diamond, creating an awe-inspiring sight. By analyzing the encoded DNA sequence, this precious gem can be easily identified and protected against theft. The utilization of CypherMark beads extends beyond diamonds; they are also employed in sprays for marking criminals and identifying the source of oil spills. Photographed at Cypher Science Ltd. , located in Cardiff, Wales, this snapshot offers a glimpse into cutting-edge technology that safeguards valuable assets through advanced labelling techniques. With a magnification level of x1240 at 6x7cm size, every detail is brought to life with astonishing clarity. The photograph from Science Photo Library not only captures the essence of security but also highlights how science continues to push boundaries in protecting our most prized possessions.
