EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, unveils a hidden world that exists right before our eyes. The image showcases the intricate and colorful landscape of human eyelash mites (Demodex sp. ) as they thrive around hair follicles. When printed at 10 centimeters wide, this magnified view reveals these tiny ectoparasites in all their glory. The vibrant colors and astonishing details of this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) highlight the abnormal presence of these microscopic creatures on our scalp and skin. While fascinating to observe, it serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between humans and parasites within our bodies. These eyelash mites may seem unsettling or even unhealthy at first glance, but they are an inherent part of our natural ecosystem. As scientific imaging continues to push boundaries, we gain valuable insights into the complex interactions occurring within us. Steve Gschmeissner's skillful capture not only provides a visually striking medical illustration but also sparks curiosity about the unseen world residing on each individual's lashes. This full-frame composition invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty and intricacy found in scientific exploration.
