Really highlights how it’s rough and gets everywhere
Imagine how this makes sand feel smh thanks Ani
Doesn't look like any other micro image of hair I've ever seen. In all the other pics i can find online hair looks a lot rougher than that. Maybe it's a synthetic hair?
yeah I was thinking the same. Why is it square?
There's a Facebook comment that says it's his daughter's hair. Dunno for sure.
Evidently they can be different
Interesting how so up close both objects seem transparent. (I know, glass is basically sand, but still)
hair is made of keratin. the same material your fingernails are made of.
Looks like glass noodle mmm
They must have used frame stacking to get everything into focus like this, I imagine...
