Eczema, SEM
Eczema, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Eczema is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. In eczema the outer layer of the skin grows very rapidly and is easily shed most often resulting in redness, skin oedema (swelling), itching and dryness, flaking, blistering, cracking, or bleeding. Seen are a clump of these disorganised squamous cells. Magnification x800 when printed at 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of eczema, a common skin condition characterized by inflammation and irritation of the upper layers of the skin. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals a clump of disorganized squamous cells that are typically found in individuals suffering from this disorder. Eczema manifests itself through various symptoms such as redness, swelling, intense itching, dryness, flaking, blistering, cracking or even bleeding. These visible signs are caused by the rapid growth and shedding of the outer layer of the skin. The false-colored SEM print highlights these abnormal features with striking pink hues. With a magnification level set at x800 when printed at 10 centimeters high, this photograph offers an up-close look into the microscopic world within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity and fragility of human health. Dermatologists play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating conditions like eczema. By studying images like this one under powerful microscopes, medical professionals gain valuable insights into dermatological disorders to develop effective treatments for those affected. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable resources for scientific research and education through their stunning visual representations. This particular image captures not only the physical manifestations but also evokes empathy towards those who experience discomfort due to eczema's impact on their daily lives.
