Paper chromatograms of various dyes
Paper chromatography. A selection of paper chromatograms of industrial dyes. Paper chromatography involves placing a small amount of the substance under investigation on a piece of filter paper, then slowly dripping a solvent into the centre of the paper. The solvent then spreads out over the paper by capilliary action, carrying with it the components of the substance at differing rates. The distance travelled along the paper by each component during the time of the experiment is a measure of this characteristic transport rate and may be used to identify each component

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of paper chromatograms featuring an array of vibrant industrial dyes. The artistry lies in the scientific process behind paper chromatography, where a small amount of the substance under investigation is carefully placed on a piece of filter paper. As if by magic, a solvent is then slowly dripped into the center of the paper, initiating capillary action. Witnessing this mesmerizing phenomenon, the solvent gracefully spreads out over the paper, carrying with it different components of the substance at varying rates. Each component embarks on its own unique journey along the surface of the paper, leaving behind colorful trails that serve as markers for identification. The distance traveled by each component during this experiment becomes an invaluable measure of their characteristic transport rate. It is through these distinctive journeys that we can unravel and decipher intricate chemical compositions. In this snapshot captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again that science and art intertwine effortlessly. The vivid hues displayed against a backdrop of pure white evoke curiosity and wonderment within us all. Let your imagination run wild as you explore this visual symphony created through chemistry's lens – an ode to both creativity and discovery.
