Sandpaper, close-up

Sandpaper. Close-up of the surface of three sheets of coarse sandpaper. Sandpaper is not made of sand, instead it is made from tiny glass grains bonded to paper. The larger and rougher these grains the more coarse the paper is graded. The paper base hidden beneath the grains is a high- quality product made from hemp or jute fibres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of sandpaper up close. Three sheets of coarse sandpaper are displayed, revealing the fascinating composition and texture of this commonly used tool. Contrary to its name, sandpaper is not actually made from sand but rather consists of tiny glass grains bonded to paper. The image highlights the larger and rougher grains that determine the coarseness or grade of the paper. These grains play a crucial role in providing an abrasive surface for various applications such as carpentry or polishing tasks. The underlying base material, hidden beneath these grains, is made from high-quality hemp or jute fibers. Through this photograph, Science Photo Library offers us a unique perspective on a familiar object found in many households and workshops. It encourages us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind everyday items we often take for granted. By capturing such minute details with precision and clarity, this image prompts viewers to explore beyond what meets the eye. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary objects possess their own beauty when observed closely.
