False col SEM of skin from blister on human hand
False colour scanning electron micrograph of human skin from a blister on the palm of the hand (male). The skin on the palm is neatly arranged in ridges (not seen) with sweat pores (seen) appearing as miniature depressions spiralling into the ridge- peaks. The external surface of skin, the epidermis, consists of keratinised, flattened layers of cells. Keratinization occurs when deposits of the fibrous protein keratin are layed down in the cells, causing them to toughen. This outer layer of cells is shed continuously (flaky) & is replaced by progressive movement & maturation of cells from the skin beneath. Magnification: X130 at 35mm size. Original is BW print P710/154

EDITORS COMMENTS
This false color scanning electron micrograph showcases a close-up view of human skin from a blister on the palm of a male hand. The intricate ridges, which are not visible in this image, neatly arrange the skin's surface. Delving deeper into the photograph, one can observe miniature depressions spiraling into these ridge-peaks - these are sweat pores. The outer layer of our skin, known as the epidermis, is composed of flattened layers of keratinized cells. Keratinization occurs when deposits of the fibrous protein keratin toughen and fortify these cells. As part of its natural process, this outer layer continuously sheds (hence its flaky appearance) and is replaced by new cells maturing from beneath. At a magnification level of X130 with a 35mm size print, this black-and-white image offers an extraordinary glimpse into the anatomy and structure that make up our largest organ - our skin. It serves as a reminder that even at such microscopic scales, there exists incredible complexity within our bodies.
