Broken egg shell edge, SEM
Broken egg shell edge. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the edge of a fragment of an egg shell. Hard-shelled eggs are produced by birds and some reptiles. The shell protects the embryo that develops inside, performing vital functions such as controlling the passage of air in and out of the egg through tiny pores. Thousands of these pores cover the egg shell surface. The thickness of the shell varies with its size, as normally a larger egg stretches the same amount of shell over a larger area, producing a thinner shell. Most of the egg shell material is calcium carbonate, and accounts for about a tenth of the eggs weight. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a broken egg shell edge, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the fascinating world hidden within this fragment of an egg shell, which is crucial for protecting and nurturing the developing embryo inside. Produced by birds and some reptiles, hard-shelled eggs serve as a vital reproductive mechanism in the animal kingdom. The shell performs essential functions such as regulating air passage through tiny pores on its surface. Thousands of these pores cover the entire shell, allowing for proper gas exchange during embryonic development. The thickness of an egg shell varies depending on its size; larger eggs stretch the same amount of shell material over a larger area, resulting in a thinner structure. Comprising mostly calcium carbonate, this remarkable substance accounts for approximately one-tenth of an egg's weight. Through unknown magnification, this SEM image provides us with an up-close view into nature's ingenious design. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary objects like broken egg shells possess extraordinary complexity when observed at microscopic levels. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library invites contemplation about life's delicate intricacies and serves as a testament to the beauty found within everyday phenomena.
