EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of red deer hair. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured SEM Z952 / 0094 image provides a close-up view of a cross section through the hairs of a majestic red deer (Cervus elaphus). The magnification level, x110 when printed at 10cm high, allows us to appreciate the fine details and unique characteristics present in each strand. The vibrant reddish hue of the hair is visually striking and complements the natural coat coloration of these magnificent animals. As we delve deeper into this micrograph, we can observe the fascinating structure and composition of red deer hair. The transverse section reveals scaly patterns that give it an almost reptilian appearance. Keratin, a tough protein found in mammalian hair fibers, forms the foundation for these strands. Each individual scale contributes to its strength and resilience while also providing insulation against harsh weather conditions. Through this extraordinary image captured by Power and Syred from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the scientific intricacies and aesthetic allure of wildlife photography. This photograph serves as a reminder that even on such minuscule scales, nature's wonders never cease to amaze us.
