Human hair
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a clean human hair. Hair is a fibrous protein (keratin) which develops out of a tubular follicle located in the epidermis of the skin. The external surface of a normal hair consists of overlapping scales, as seen here. Magnification: x130 at 35mm size, x200 at 6x4.5cm size. BW equivalent is P720/072

Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a human hair, revealing its true beauty under the lens of a scanning electron microscope. The false-colour technique used in this image enhances the visual appeal, making it an artful representation of our own anatomy. The hair shaft, composed primarily of fibrous protein called keratin, emerges from a tubular follicle embedded within the epidermis of our skin. As we zoom in closer, we can observe the external surface adorned with overlapping scales that give each strand its unique texture and appearance. With a magnification power of x130 at 35mm size or x200 at 6x4.5cm size, this print allows us to appreciate every minute detail and structure present on a healthy and normal hair strand. It serves as a reminder that even something as seemingly simple as our hair possesses incredible complexity when examined up close. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this image using state-of-the-art technology and expertise in scientific photography. This photograph is not just informative but also visually striking, showcasing both the scientific wonders found within our bodies and the artistic potential hidden in microscopic realms.
