Coloured SEM of healthy skin
Human skin. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of healthy skin. The debris is due to outer cells being constantly shed (sloughed off) and replaced. This process is known as desquamation. Skin consists of an outer epidermis supported by an underlying dermis. It accounts for approximately 15% of the body weight of humans. Its structure varies according to location, for example the skin on the hands and feet is much thicker than in other areas. The ability of skin to differentiate gives rise to hair, nails, sebaceous glands and sweat glands. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of healthy human skin at a microscopic level. Through the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the image reveals a colorful and detailed view of our body's largest organ. The vibrant hues in this SEM capture are not only visually stunning but also serve as a testament to the constant renewal process occurring on our skin's surface. The scattered debris visible in the image is a result of outer cells being shed and replaced, known as desquamation. This natural phenomenon ensures that our skin remains fresh and rejuvenated. Comprising both an outer epidermis and an underlying dermis, human skin plays a vital role in protecting our bodies from external elements. It accounts for approximately 15% of our total body weight, highlighting its significance. Interestingly, this remarkable organ possesses different structures depending on its location. For instance, it is notably thicker on hands and feet compared to other areas. Moreover, the ability of skin to differentiate gives rise to various features such as hair follicles, nails, sebaceous glands responsible for oil production, and sweat glands aiding temperature regulation. With its enigmatic magnification undisclosed by Science Photo Library –the source behind this awe-inspiring print– this artwork offers viewers an extraordinary glimpse into the complexity and resilience of healthy human skin.
