EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a light bulb filament. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the tungsten wire that forms the heart of every incandescent bulb. Magnified at x100, this image reveals the mesmerizing details that go unnoticed by our naked eyes. The coiled filament, meticulously crafted with metal technology, is brought to life when electricity flows through it. The resulting heat causes it to glow white hot, illuminating our world and bringing brightness into our lives. This microscopic subject holds immense significance in both industry and everyday life. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope, we gain an appreciation for the wonders of physics and technological advancements that make modern lighting possible. The photograph captures not only the scientific marvels but also serves as a reminder of humanity's constant pursuit of innovation and energy efficiency. As we gaze upon this magnified image, we are reminded of how even seemingly ordinary objects can hold extraordinary secrets waiting to be discovered under closer inspection. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the hidden realms within our world – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye.
