Water purifier
Water purifier. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of coconut shell charcoal from a water purification filter. The charcoal removes odours and gases from water passed through it. The rest of the purification unit (not seen) consists of an ion-exchange resin to remove ions such as metals, chlorides and sulphates, and a ceramic housing to filter out solid material.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a water purifier. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the essence of coconut shell charcoal, an essential component of this filtration system. In its brown hues, we witness the power and efficiency with which it removes odours and gases from water that passes through it. While this image only reveals a portion of the purification unit, there is no denying its significance in ensuring clean and safe drinking water. Beyond what meets the eye lies an ion-exchange resin, diligently working to eliminate harmful ions like metals, chlorides, and sulphates. Additionally, a ceramic housing acts as a barrier against solid materials that may contaminate our precious resource. With magnification at x1340 and printed at 6x7cm size, every detail becomes more pronounced - reminding us of the complexity involved in achieving pure water for domestic use. This photograph serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane household objects can possess extraordinary capabilities when it comes to safeguarding our health. As captured by Science Photo Library's lens, this image transcends commercial interests or specific company affiliations. Instead, it invites us to appreciate the wonders of science and technology behind everyday items such as this water purifier – silently working towards improving our lives without seeking recognition or praise.
