The Scanning Electron Microscope was an interesting experience to observe the minuscule world around us. I brought in an unknown white hair that I found on the floor of the Chroma Key Studio. I thought it was synthetic or from a coat, but I discovered that it was most likely a human hair due to its secretion structure. It was also determined it was not a “black” hair due to its composition (so it was not mine) and that it probably fell since it still had an intact bulbous base. I found it intriguing that this could also be decided from close evaluation of its physical form. Along with the required images, I also captured a spot with hair product potentially on it and a break in the middle of the hair.
