This print showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of human hair right after it has undergone the cleansing ritual of shampooing. The intricate details captured in this image provide a fascinating insight into the microscopic world of our own anatomy. The magnified view, at 34 times its original size, reveals the delicate structure and composition of each individual strand. The vibrant false colours applied to the SEM add an artistic touch while also highlighting different aspects of the hair's anatomy.
