This print showcases the intricate beauty of a wine bottle cork at an incredibly detailed level. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a unique glimpse into the cellular structure that makes up this familiar object. The cork, derived from the bark of the cork oak tree, Quercus suber, is transformed into a mesmerizing work of art under magnification. At x610 magnification and measuring 6x7cm in size, every nook and cranny of the cork's surface is brought to life. Each individual cell can be clearly distinguished, forming an elaborate network that contributes to its remarkable properties. This image truly highlights nature's craftsmanship. With further enlargement to x1,480 at 8x6ins or even x785 at 10x7cm master size, one cannot help but marvel at the complexity hidden within such a common item found in our everyday lives - a wine bottle cork. It serves as a reminder that even objects we often overlook possess their own extraordinary stories waiting to be unveiled. This stunning photograph by Science Photo Library not only captures scientific wonder but also invites us to appreciate the beauty found in ordinary things around us. Let it inspire you to see beyond what meets the eye and discover fascination in unexpected places.
