The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the teeth and slider of the zip, magnified to x2.5 at a 6x7cm size. The image captures the essence of this essential fastening element in stunning color. The interlocking teeth, made from durable metal material, engage seamlessly with each other, forming a secure mesh that ensures clothes and clothing items are fastened together effortlessly. The toothed runners glide smoothly along the chain, creating a satisfying click as they lock into place. This mesmerizing visual highlights not only the functionality but also the aesthetic appeal of zips.

It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects can possess hidden marvels when examined closely. Science Photo Library has once again captured our imagination by presenting us with this extraordinary glimpse into everyday life's intricate details. Whether it's for scientific research or pure curiosity, this print offers endless fascination for anyone who appreciates both art and science combined in one frame.
