Glass Coaster : Hair follicles, SEM
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Hair follicles, SEM
Hair follicles. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through freeze- fractured hair follicles in the skin. The follicles, in the dermis of the skin, each produce a hair (brown strands) that protrude above the skins surface (top). Each follicle possesses a sebaceous gland (porous, beige, for example at centre), which secretes oily sebum onto the hair and the skin. Magnification: x100 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of hair follicles in the human body. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures a section through freeze-fractured hair follicles, revealing their detailed structure and function. In this image, we observe healthy hair follicles embedded within the dermis of the skin. Each follicle is responsible for producing a single strand of brown hair that extends above the surface of the skin. At the center of each follicle lies a sebaceous gland, which can be identified by its porous beige appearance. These glands play a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair and skin by secreting oily sebum onto both. The magnification level used to capture this image is x100 at 6x7cm size, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail with great clarity. By exploring this SEM photograph, we gain insight into the histology and anatomy of these essential structures within our bodies. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of how complex and interconnected our bodies truly are. It highlights not only the physical aspects but also emphasizes their normal functioning and contribution to overall well-being.
