Glass Frame : Muscle fibres
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Muscle fibres
Muscle fibres. Computer-enhanced confocal light micrograph of skeletal (striated) muscle fibres. Skeletal muscle is under the conscious control of the brain. The fibres have dark bands running across them. Each fibre comprises several parallel strands (myofibrils) of the contractile proteins actin and myosin. These are arranged alternately along the length of the fibre, giving it a banded appearance. When the muscle contracts, the actin and myosin filaments slide over one another. Magnification unknown

8"x6" Glass Mount
Wall mounted or free-standing, these black edged glass frames feature a smooth chamfered edge and a stylish black border (on back face of the glass). Manufactured from 4mm thick glass, Glass Mounts are a durable, professional way of displaying and protecting your prints. Your 8x6 print is slotted into the back of the frame so can easily be changed if needed.
Tempered Glass Mounts are ideal for wall display, plus the smaller sizes can also be used free-standing via an integral stand
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 15.2cm x 20.3cm (6" x 8")
Estimated Product Size is 17.7cm x 22.8cm (7" x 9")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of muscle fibres in the human body. Enhanced through computer technology, this confocal light micrograph reveals skeletal (striated) muscle fibres that are consciously controlled by the brain. The dark bands running across each fibre indicate their unique structure and composition. Comprising multiple parallel strands called myofibrils, these fibres consist of contractile proteins known as actin and myosin. These proteins are arranged alternately along the length of the fibre, giving it a distinct banded appearance. When muscles contract, the actin and myosin filaments slide over one another, enabling movement within our bodies. The magnification used to capture this image remains unknown but highlights the incredible level of detail present in even the smallest components of our anatomy. This mesmerizing visual representation offers a glimpse into how our muscles function on a microscopic level. As we marvel at this photograph's fluorescent hues and immunofluorescent techniques employed to enhance its clarity, we gain a deeper appreciation for both the complexity and elegance inherent in our muscular system. Whether studying anatomy or simply admiring nature's design, this image serves as a testament to the remarkable capabilities of our own bodies.
