Interference pattern
Interference pattern. Light micrograph of interference patterns on a soap film. The different colours are due to interference of reflected light waves. Some incidental light reflects off the surface of the film, while the rest of the light travels through to the back of the film and is reflected. The thickness of the film varies across its surface, causing certain wavelengths to be extinguished, producing a variation in colour. Magnification: x25 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This mesmerizing print captures the captivating beauty of an interference pattern on a soap film. Under the lens of a light microscope, we are presented with a stunning display of multi-colored waves resulting from the interference of reflected light. The intricate patterns and vibrant hues are created by the interaction between incident lighting and the varying thickness of the film. As light passes through the soap film, some is reflected off its surface while others travel to its back before being reflected again. This complex process leads to certain wavelengths being extinguished, giving rise to a spectrum of colors that dance across the image. The result is an optical masterpiece that showcases both fluid dynamics and physics in action. At 25 times magnification, this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this thin film's surface. From its liquid properties to its spectral qualities, it serves as a visual reminder of how science can reveal breathtaking artistry in unexpected places. The Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders through their lens, reminding us that even in something as ordinary as soap bubbles lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
