Stunning examples of photographs taken with the Museum's scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Shark skin is covered in thousands of tiny, tooth-like scales called denticles. The shape of the denticles varies between different species, and can not only be used to identify modern animals, but can be adapted to provide greater protection, minimise drag or even allow the passage of bioluminescence (light-up sharks!).

The structure of beard hair is similar to that of pubic hair: they have a thick shaft, are rigid and usually do not grow as long as head hair. Their hair follicles produce a lot of sebum (skin fat), so they are good scent carriers for pheromones - such as sex attractants. Their average diameter: 90-230nm. The SEM image was taken from a beard hair near the shaft. The magnification is 800fold. #sem #scanningelectronmicroscopy #hair #beard
