Poster Print : Coloured SEM of dentine with protoplasmic fibres
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Coloured SEM of dentine with protoplasmic fibres
Dentine. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section of healthy human dentine, a dense calcified tissue which forms the bulk of the body of a tooth. Dentine is similar to bone in composition, but is more highly mineralised & consequently much harder than bone. Dentine forms when the organic matrix secreted by cells called odontoblasts becomes calcified. It occurs between the enamel and the inner dental pulp and is permeated by a network of minute channels. These channels contain protoplasmic processes (coloured pink) of the odontoblasts. Dentine is highly sensitive to both touch & extremes of temperature. Magnification: x1, 100 at 6x7cm size. x2, 960 at 8x6ins, x1570 at 10x7cm master size

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Discover the intricacies of dental anatomy with our captivating Media Storehouse Poster Prints. This mesmerizing image showcases a Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of healthy human dentine by Science Photo Library. Witness the intricate network of dentine's protoplasmic fibres, adding a vibrant touch to this dense, calcified tissue that forms the core of a tooth. Bring the wonders of science into your workspace or home decor with these high-quality, visually stimulating poster prints.
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.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 52.2cm x 42cm (20.6" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of dentine, the robust calcified tissue that forms the main structure of a tooth. Similar in composition to bone but much harder due to higher mineralization, dentine plays a crucial role in dental health. The image reveals the intricate network of protoplasmic fibres within dentine, which are responsible for its sensitivity and responsiveness. Dentine formation occurs when odontoblasts, specialized cells found between the enamel and inner dental pulp, secrete an organic matrix that eventually becomes calcified. This process gives rise to the dense and resilient nature of dentine. Notably, this remarkable tissue is permeated by numerous minute channels through which nutrients flow. The vibrant pink colouring highlights the presence of protoplasmic processes within these channels. These delicate cell extensions contribute to both touch sensitivity and temperature perception in teeth. With magnification at x1,100 for 6x7cm size prints or up to an impressive x2,960 for 8x6ins prints (and even reaching x1,570 at 10x7cm master size), this photograph allows us to marvel at the intricacies hidden within our own bodies. It serves as a testament to scientific exploration and discovery while reminding us of the complexity that lies beneath our smiles.
