Filter paper, SEM
Filter paper. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the cut end of a piece of filter paper showing its many cellulose fibres. This porous material is made from wood pulp and is used for separating the liquid and solid parts of a suspension. Cellulose is the rigid component of plant cell walls. Magnification: x390 at 6.5x8.5 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of filter paper under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the cut end of a piece of filter paper, highlighting its numerous cellulose fibers. Filter paper is a porous material derived from wood pulp and is commonly used in laboratories for separating liquid and solid components in suspensions. The monochrome composition adds to the scientific allure of this photograph, emphasizing the fine details and textures present within the cellulose fibers. Each fiber acts as a rigid component found in plant cell walls, making it an essential element in filtration processes. At a magnification level of x390, this 6.5x8.5 inch print offers viewers an up-close look at this familiar object often taken for granted. It serves as a reminder that even common items possess extraordinary qualities when examined through advanced imaging techniques like SEM. Chemistry enthusiasts will appreciate how this image captures the fibrous nature of filter paper, showcasing its ability to efficiently separate substances based on their size or solubility. Whether used in research or everyday laboratory equipment, filter paper plays an integral role in various scientific experiments involving filtration. Science Photo Library's expertly captured photograph not only highlights the aesthetic appeal of these cellulose fibers but also reminds us of their crucial function within our scientific endeavors.
