Skin Surface Dandruff False Coloured Skin Scales


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of human skin on a microscopic level. In this false-colour scanning electron micrograph, we are granted a glimpse into the realm of dandruff, specifically from a mild case. The image reveals human skin scales that are continuously shed from our body's surface, forming an essential component of house dust. At a magnification of x45 and presented in a 6x4.5cm size, the details captured in this photograph are truly mesmerizing. Each scale is meticulously displayed, highlighting their delicate structure and texture. It is fascinating to witness how something as seemingly insignificant as dandruff can possess such complexity when examined up close. Not only does this image provide insight into the anatomy of our skin, but it also sheds light on its ecological significance. These tiny scales serve as nourishment for dust mites, emphasizing their role as staple food sources for these microscopic creatures that coexist with us. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an extraordinary visual representation that invites us to appreciate the intricacies within our own bodies and surroundings. This print serves as a reminder of the hidden wonders waiting to be discovered through scientific exploration and observation.
