EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an iron pyrite crystal, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors and detailed structure of this mineral are brought to life in this coloured SEM image. Iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold due to its resemblance to real gold, is one of the most abundant sulphide minerals found on Earth. The crystal formation commonly occurs in cubic shapes, as seen in this photograph. With a magnification of x640 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every tiny facet and crevice can be appreciated. This stunning piece offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of geology and mineralogy. Iron pyrite crystals are often found embedded within rocks such as shale. Their presence adds a touch of sparkle and intrigue to these formations. As an important component in earth science research, studying these crystalline structures provides valuable insights into geological processes. Science Photo Library has expertly captured the allure and scientific significance of this iron pyrite crystal through their meticulous photography techniques. This print serves as a reminder that even common minerals hold extraordinary wonders waiting to be explored under the lens of a scanning electron microscope.
