EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a familiar object - sticking tape. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are given a close-up view of the adhesive side of a piece of sticky tape. The pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on one side is clearly visible, revealing its ability to firmly stick to various materials upon contact. The vibrant colours in this SEM image bring life to an otherwise mundane item. This cellulose tape, commonly known as scotch or sellotape, has become an indispensable tool for holding paper and certain plastics together. Its versatility and ease of use have made it a staple in offices, schools, and households worldwide. Although the magnification level remains unknown, this photograph allows us to appreciate the microscopic world that exists within everyday objects. The scanning electron microscope reveals intricate patterns and textures that are invisible to the naked eye. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we cannot help but marvel at the beauty found within such ordinary items. It serves as a reminder that even the most common objects can hold extraordinary secrets when viewed through a different lens – quite literally in this case!
