EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a fingernail, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the tip of a finger, including the nail plate and surrounding skin. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary feature of our body, but upon closer inspection, we discover its fascinating composition. The top layer of our skin is made up of dead keratinised cells that are constantly shed and replaced by new cells from beneath. This perpetual cycle ensures the health and renewal of our epidermis. The nail plate itself is composed of a hard translucent form of keratin protein. Its unique structure allows light to pass through, giving it its characteristic appearance. With a magnification level equivalent to 5 times when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this print offers us an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic world within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest parts can hold immense beauty and complexity. As we admire this stunning artwork from Science Photo Library, let us marvel at the wonders hidden within ourselves - where science meets art in perfect harmony.
