Jigsaw Puzzle : SEM of Aran wool fibres
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
SEM of Aran wool fibres
Wool fibres. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of wool fibres from an Aran garment. Wool is chiefly obtained from the fleece of the domesticated sheep. Wool is differentiated from hair by the numerous, pointed scales which can be seen covering the outside of each fibre. Wool fibres are strong and elastic, which gives woollen fabrics the ability to retain their shape. Woollen garments are also characterized by their lightness, their ability to absorb moisture and their insulating properties. The value of wool on the world market depends primarily on the fineness and length of the fibres. Magnification: x340 at 5x7cm size. Magnification: x775 at 6x4.5 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Aran wool fibres, extracted from the fleece of domesticated sheep. The distinguishing feature of wool is its abundance of pointed scales that envelop each fibre, setting it apart from hair. These scales contribute to the strength and elasticity of wool fibres, allowing woollen fabrics to maintain their shape effortlessly. Woollen garments possess remarkable characteristics such as lightness, excellent moisture absorption, and exceptional insulation properties. This makes them an ideal choice for clothing in various climates and seasons. As we delve into the world market value of wool, we discover that it primarily depends on the fineness and length of these fibres. The SEM magnification reveals intricate details at two different sizes: x340 at 5x7cm size and x775 at 6x4.5 inch size. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this microscopic view, emphasizing the complexity hidden within something as seemingly ordinary as a strand of wool. Appreciating this image goes beyond aesthetics; it allows us to marvel at nature's ingenuity in providing us with versatile materials like wool. Whether used for insulation or crafting fashionable clothes, these Aran wool fibres exemplify both functionality and beauty in one extraordinary package.
