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

Hair Hair Shaft Keratin Scales False Coloured
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 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.
