EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of the nib of a felt-tip pen, revealing its intricate details in vibrant colors. The image was captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which allows for an incredibly high level of magnification. At x12 magnification and measuring 6x7cm in size, this SEM image provides an up-close look at the writing point of the pen. The fibrous nature of the tip is clearly visible, highlighting the fine fibers that make contact with paper when writing or drawing. This familiar object, commonly found on desks and in pencil cases around the world, takes on a whole new perspective through this scientific lens. At higher magnifications - x30 at 8x6ins and x16 at 10x7cm master size - even more intricate details become apparent. The precision engineering behind this everyday item becomes evident as you explore each microscopic groove and filament within the nib. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library offers viewers a unique glimpse into an object we often take for granted. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary items can hold extraordinary beauty when viewed through the lens of science.
