EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Grey squirrel's hair, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the astonishing details of each individual strand, magnified to an impressive x730 when printed 10cm wide. The Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is known for its vibrant fur and playful nature, making it a beloved member of the animal kingdom. In this close-up view, we can appreciate the unique characteristics that make up its coat. Each hair appears scaly and fibrous, composed primarily of keratin – a protein found in many biological structures. The SEM technique used here allows us to delve into the microscopic world with unparalleled clarity. By employing electrons instead of light to form images, scientists are able to reveal hidden features that would otherwise remain invisible to our eyes. As we explore this mesmerizing photograph further, we gain insight into both biology and zoology. The scales on each hair create an armor-like protection for these remarkable creatures as they navigate their natural habitats. This image serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found in wildlife and highlights the importance of preserving these delicate ecosystems. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into nature's wonders through their exceptional photography skills.
