EDITORS COMMENTS
This false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) print showcases the aftermath of a man's beard hair being shaved with an electric razor. The intricate details captured in this image reveal the torn and ragged ends that result from such a grooming technique. Magnified at x100 and tinted with a golden hue, this photograph offers a unique perspective on the anatomy of human hair. Compared to its counterpart, which displays a beard hair cut by an ordinary razor blade, this SEM print highlights the distinct differences between these two shaving methods. While both techniques aim to achieve smoothness, the electric shaver leaves behind jagged edges that are clearly visible under close examination. MICROCOSMOS references this remarkable image as figure 2.54 on page 41, further emphasizing its significance within scientific literature. As we delve into the intricacies of our own bodies, it is fascinating to explore even the smallest aspects like individual hairs and their response to various grooming tools. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their expertise in capturing stunning visuals related to anatomy and human body exploration, this print serves as a reminder of how science can unveil beauty even in seemingly mundane subjects like facial hair.
