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

Blister Epidermis Skin Surface Sweat Pore
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
