Human Skin Cells (SEM)
Human Skin Cells. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface layer of the human skin, the epidermis. The outer layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) is a tough coating formed from overlapping layers of dead skin cells which are continuously sloughed off and replaced with cells from the living layers beneath. The skin is the largest organ of the body and protects from injury and dehydration as well as assisting with the regulation of body temperature. A small number of yeast cells are visible (yellow). Magnification x7920 (x1950 at 10cm wide)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human skin cells under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image focuses on the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of our skin. Composed of overlapping layers of dead skin cells known as the stratum corneum, this tough coating continuously sheds and regenerates itself with living cells from beneath. The significance of our skin cannot be overstated; it serves as our body's largest organ, safeguarding us against injuries and dehydration while also aiding in regulating body temperature. In this mesmerizing capture, we can observe numerous yellow yeast cells scattered throughout the surface layer, adding an intriguing element to the composition. With a magnification level of x7920 (x1950 at 10cm wide), this SEM image provides a glimpse into the microscopic world that exists within us. It highlights both the complexity and resilience found within our own bodies. This photograph not only offers scientific insight into human anatomy but also evokes wonder and appreciation for the intricacies that make up every individual's unique epidermal landscape. Captured by Power and Syred for Science Photo Library, this print invites viewers to marvel at nature's extraordinary design while reminding us of our own vulnerability and strength encapsulated within these tiny yet remarkable building blocks - human skin cells.
