EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing polarised light micrograph of a thin section of granite, an igneous rock renowned for its intricate mineral composition. The image reveals the complex assemblage of minerals within the granite, including quartz, orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars, biotite and chlorite. Under magnification at x8 and captured with a 35mm size lens, this geological masterpiece offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of earth science. Each mineral appears distinct in its vibrant colors and unique crystalline structure, creating an awe-inspiring visual spectacle. Granite is widely recognized for its durability and aesthetic appeal, making it highly sought after in construction and architectural applications. This photograph not only highlights the scientific significance of studying rocks but also emphasizes their inherent beauty. The use of polarised light enhances our understanding of how these minerals interact with each other within the granite matrix. By examining thin sections like this one under polarised light microscopy, scientists can unravel valuable insights about the formation processes that shaped our planet's geology over millions of years. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific exploration. This print serves as a reminder that even in seemingly ordinary objects like rocks lie extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered by those who dare to look closer.
