Bird feather, light micrograph
Bird feather. Light micrograph of a small contour feather from the body of a bird. This feather, which is 6 millimetres long, is from a juvenile bird. The feather has no quill, a downy base (upper left), and barbs with crossed barbules, which do not interlock. The function of this feather is for insulation, as opposed to the different structure found on flight feathers. Magnification: x14 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a bird feather under the lens of a light microscope. The feather, measuring 6 millimetres in length, belongs to a juvenile bird and serves as insulation rather than for flight. The absence of a quill is notable, while its downy base can be seen in the upper left corner. The barbs on this feather possess crossed barbules that do not interlock with each other. The image showcases nature's remarkable design and highlights the beauty found within even the smallest elements of wildlife. It provides an insight into ornithology and zoology, offering valuable information about avian biology. With a magnification of x14 when printed at 10 centimetres across, this photograph allows us to appreciate the delicate structures that make up this single contour feather. Its cut-out appearance against a black background adds emphasis to its unique features. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment from our natural world through their lens. This print is perfect for those who admire young animals in their natural habitats or have an interest in studying feathers' biological composition.
