1998 MARCH MYSTERY IMAGE
|
This is a scanning electron micrograph of sweat on a human index finger tip.
The ridges are what form our finger prints.
Technically it is a replica made from the tip of an index finger. The replica is then
placed inside a scanning electron microscope. We try to avoid cutting off fingers, even if it
is for science! |

Try it as a
fun to play jigsaw puzzle.
