Trimmed Paper Edge (Dr Damien Leech, UWE Bristol – Centre for Fine Print Research)

“The trimmed edge of piece of paper under a scanning electron microscope. All this individual fibres that can construct the sheet can be seen to be interwoven into a dense, disorganised matrix – this structure provides the classic white that we expect from a sheet of paper.”

– Amazing image! We love how meta it is: an artistic shot of a scientific image of an artistic medium! Notice the scale bar is 260 micrometres, around 3x width of an average human hair!
