Antique Framed Print : Blackhead, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Blackhead, SEM
Black head. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of hairs emerging from a blockage in the skin. The material which caused the obstruction, the dead cells and debris associated with a pimple or blackhead, is attached to the emerging hair. Blackheads and pimples form when a sebaceous gland becomes blocked with a plug of dried sebum (an oily excretion). Magnification: x180 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a blackhead under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an obstructed hair follicle emerging from the skin, with the blockage consisting of dead cells and debris commonly associated with pimples or blackheads. The material responsible for this obstruction clings to the emerging hair, providing a visual representation of how these blemishes form. Blackheads and pimples occur when sebaceous glands become clogged by dried sebum, an oily secretion produced by our bodies. This SEM image allows us to explore the biological and physiological aspects behind these common skin issues. With a magnification level of x180 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought into focus. The photograph not only offers scientific insight but also highlights the beauty found within microscopic structures. It reminds us that even in something as seemingly mundane as a blackhead, there is complexity and wonder waiting to be discovered. As we delve into this mesmerizing world captured by Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper appreciation for both our own biology and the remarkable capabilities of modern imaging technology.
