Macrophotograph of printed 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: x1.5 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This macrophotograph showcases the intricate beauty of a printed circuit board, revealing the inner workings of modern technology. The olive green tracks, resembling a network of miniature highways, represent the copper conducting paths that allow electrical signals to flow seamlessly throughout the circuit. Protected by a glossy varnish, these tracks ensure reliable connectivity and efficient operation. In contrast, the elongated brown areas stand out as bare copper connectors eagerly awaiting their soldering fate. These connectors serve as crucial links between the microprocessor chip and other components within the device. Their exposed state highlights their vulnerability yet also signifies their potential for integration into a larger system. The mesmerizing blue circles scattered across this electronic landscape act as connection points for additional components like resistors and capacitors. They also facilitate communication with external elements such as switches and dials, enabling user interaction with the product. Manufactured through an intricate process involving photographic printing and chemical etching, this printed circuit exemplifies precision engineering at its finest. With magnification at 1.5 times its original size on a 6x6cm print, every minuscule detail is brought to life in stunning clarity. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through once again in capturing this visually striking image that not only celebrates technological advancement but also reminds us of our reliance on these complex systems in our daily lives.
