EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of eyelashes. Through a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted an up-close view of these delicate hairs that grow from follicles in the dermal layer of our skin. The portion of each hair that extends above the skin's surface is composed of dead tissue and the protein keratin, which gives it strength and structure. Not only do eyelashes enhance our facial features, but they also serve a vital purpose - to protect our eyes from foreign bodies. With a magnification level of x10 at 6x7cm size, this image reveals every tiny detail with astonishing clarity. The lashes appear healthy and normal, showcasing their role as guardians for our precious sight. As we admire this SEM capture, we gain insight into the anatomy of eyelashes and their connection to the epidermis. They emerge gracefully from the eye lid, framing one's face with elegance. This photograph reminds us of the remarkable complexity found within even seemingly simple aspects of our human body. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a stunning visual representation that merges artistry with scientific exploration. Let this image inspire wonderment as we appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and educational value.
