EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a sharpened pencil like you've never seen before. Taken using a scanning electron microscope, this coloured SEM image reveals the hidden beauty within this familiar object. At first glance, we see a thin rod composed of clay and graphite, commonly known as "lead" although it is actually made of carbon. The grey hue represents the graphite while the brown casing signifies the wooden encasement. The juxtaposition of these materials creates an aesthetically pleasing contrast that adds to the overall appeal of this image. With a magnification level of x48 at 6x7 cm size and x104 at 6x7 inch size, every minute detail becomes apparent. From the tiny particles in the clay-graphite mixture to the individual wood fibers in its casing, this photograph allows us to appreciate just how complex even seemingly simple objects can be. Whether used for writing or drawing, pencils are undoubtedly one of our most common items. This mesmerizing image reminds us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to everyday objects. It serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic inspiration – two realms that often intertwine in unexpected ways.
