Macrophotograph of a circuit board
Macrophotograph of the surface of a printed circuit board. The olive green areas are copper conducting tracks of the circuit, covered with a protective varnish. The elongated brown areas are bare copper connectors, awaiting soldering to connectors on a microprocessor chip. The blue circles are connection points for other components such as resistors and capacitors, and to other parts of the product such as switches and dials. Printed circuits such as this are manufactured by a process involving photographic printing and chemical etching of unwanted areas. Magnification: x0.5 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This macrophotograph showcases the intricate beauty of a printed circuit board, revealing the hidden world of electronic connections. The olive green tracks, resembling a labyrinthine network, represent the copper conducting paths that carry electrical signals throughout the circuit. These tracks are meticulously coated with a protective varnish to ensure their durability and longevity. In contrast, the elongated brown areas stand out as bare copper connectors eagerly awaiting soldering to microprocessor chip connectors. Their exposed state hints at the delicate process involved in assembling these complex electronic devices. The blue circles scattered across the surface serve as connection points for various components like resistors and capacitors, as well as switches and dials found within the final product. They act as crucial junctions where different elements come together harmoniously to create functional electronics. Manufactured through an elaborate process involving photographic printing and chemical etching, this printed circuit exemplifies precision engineering at its finest. With a magnification of x0.5 on a 6x6cm print size, this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail that goes into creating these technological marvels. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the inner workings of our modern world – where innovation meets artistry in crafting cutting-edge technology that powers our daily lives.
