EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of scalp tissue under a light microscope. The polarised light micrograph reveals oblique and transverse sections through hair shafts, depicted in a vibrant yellow-orange hue, surrounded by their hair follicles in a deep purple shade. Some of these follicles exhibit bulbous sebaceous glands, which appear lighter purple in color. With a magnification of x44 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this image offers an up-close look into the biological wonders that make up our scalp. It provides valuable insights into the healthy anatomy and normal structure of human scalp tissue. The cross-sectioned view allows us to explore the various layers comprising the epidermis and dermis, shedding light on both its histological and dermatological aspects. This visual representation is not only visually stunning but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in understanding the complexities of our skin's biology. By capturing such microscopic details with precision and clarity, Science Photo Library continues to contribute significantly to scientific knowledge dissemination. This print stands as a testament to their commitment towards sharing remarkable visuals that bridge artistry with scientific exploration.
