EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a pencil tip like never before. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are offered a close-up view of the contrasting elements that make up this familiar writing tool. The upper right corner reveals a shaved wooden surface, displaying its natural brown hue and texture. This serves as a stark contrast to the lower left portion, where the grey writing tip takes center stage. This tip, composed of graphite and clay, is what allows us to effortlessly put our thoughts onto paper. Enclosed within the wood casing lies the core made up of graphite and clay. Both components work in harmony to create the perfect balance for smooth writing experiences. To achieve precision, both layers are sharpened meticulously until they form the fine point we see here. Through this SEM image, we gain an appreciation for how such a common item can possess such complexity at its core. The attention to detail in capturing every aspect of this pencil tip is truly remarkable. Science Photo Library continues to astound with their ability to transform everyday objects into works of art through scientific imaging techniques. This particular print invites us to marvel at something as simple as a pencil while reminding us that beauty can be found even in ordinary things.
