Description
Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a sheet of paper showing lines made by a ballpoint pen (blue) and pencil (gray). When writing with a pencil, tiny graphite particles are abraded which remain in the spaces between the fibers. Since the particles do not stick the graphite can be removed with an eraser. The pen color is put down with blue pigments which is passed on and between the paper fibers. Magnification is 63x when printed at 10 cm wide.
