EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a matchbox striker, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Magnified at an impressive x500, this 6x7cm image reveals the rough and abrasive friction strip found on the side of a matchbox. The vibrant colors bring to life this familiar object that we often take for granted in our daily lives. The SEM technique used here allows us to appreciate the fine textures and patterns present on this common item. This close-up view offers a new perspective on something so ordinary, reminding us of the beauty that can be found even in everyday objects. The significance of this image lies in its representation of ignition - the very act that sets fire to countless memories, celebrations, and moments throughout history. It serves as a visual reminder of how such small items can hold immense power and potential. Through Science Photo Library's lens, we are invited to explore beyond what meets the eye and delve into the microscopic world surrounding us. This photograph not only captures scientific curiosity but also sparks our own sense of wonder about the hidden wonders within seemingly mundane things.
