EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Skin Surface, SEM C017 / 8493" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human skin. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we are presented with a colored image that showcases vapour entrapments and sweat globules on the surface of our skin. The outermost layer, known as the epidermis, is composed of dead and dying skin cells that serve as a protective barrier against external elements. These cells shield the delicate epidermal cells beneath from harm caused by the environment. The magnification level used for this print allows us to appreciate these minute details at x34 when printed at 10 centimeters wide. The vibrant colors in this SEM image bring to life the otherwise invisible features of our body's largest organ - our skin. It serves as a reminder of its complexity and importance in maintaining our overall health and well-being. Dermatology enthusiasts will find particular interest in this photograph, showcasing various lines, textures, and patterns found within different layers such as stratum corneum or dermis. This stunning piece from Science Photo Library invites us to marvel at the beauty hidden within ourselves while also appreciating its scientific significance.
