Silver crystals
Silver crystals. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of crystals of silver (symbol Ag, atomic number 47). Silver is a lustrous, precious metal which has been known since pre-history. Its softness and malleability makes it useful in the production of jewellery and coinage. Silver has a high thermal and electrical conductivity, and so has been used in the electronics industry. Magnification: x1380 at 5x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of silver crystals. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are offered a close-up view of these intricate structures. Silver, a lustrous and precious metal that has been known since pre-history, is depicted here in its crystalline form. The softness and malleability of silver have made it highly sought after for centuries in the production of exquisite jewellery and coinage. However, its significance extends far beyond aesthetics. With high thermal and electrical conductivity, silver has found extensive use in the electronics industry, playing a crucial role in powering our modern technological advancements. At a magnification level of x1380 on a 5x7cm size print, every detail becomes vividly apparent – from the delicate arrangement of atoms within each crystal to their overall structure. This image serves as a reminder of the wonders hidden within even seemingly ordinary materials. Science Photo Library brings us yet another remarkable glimpse into the world around us with this photograph. It illustrates not only the beauty inherent in scientific exploration but also highlights how elements like silver can shape our lives through their unique properties.
