Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Chloroplast in cell of pea plant
Coloured transmisson electron micrograph of a chloroplast (green) sitting in the cytoplasm of a pea plant Pisum sativum. The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis where carbohydrates are obtained from carbon dioxide using the energy from sunlight. The chloroplast is bound by a double membrane. Internally, it consists of stacks of flattened membranes called grana (threadlike) suspended in a matrix of hydrophilic proteins. The grana contain the chlorophyll pigments and are the sites of light reactions during photosynthesis. The orange at left is part of a nucleus and the orange strip at right is the cell wall. Magnification: x1680 at 6x4.5cm size

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a chloroplast within a cell of a vibrant pea plant. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph, the chloroplast is depicted as a striking shade of green, contrasting against the surrounding cytoplasm. Serving as the epicenter of photosynthesis, this vital organelle converts carbon dioxide into carbohydrates using sunlight as its energy source. Enclosed by a double membrane, the chloroplast reveals its internal structure through stacks of flattened membranes known as grana. These threadlike structures are suspended in a matrix composed of hydrophilic proteins. It is within these grana that chlorophyll pigments reside and where light reactions occur during photosynthesis. The orange hue on the left side represents part of a nucleus while an orange strip on the right signifies the presence of the cell wall. With an impressive magnification level at 1680x and measuring 6x4.5cm in size, this image provides an extraordinary glimpse into botanical science and plant structure. Through this visually stunning representation captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the complex world within plants - specifically highlighting how chloroplasts play an essential role in sustaining life through their remarkable ability to harness sunlight's power for carbohydrate synthesis.
