Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
False col SEM of rhizoids
False colour scanning electron micrograph of rhizoids, or " rootlets" of the bread mould, Rhizopus stolonifer, on the surface of bread. Spores circulate freely in the air. When they alight on a favourable medium, they germinate a network of hyphae (threads), whose function it is to absorb food for growth & spore production. Rhizopus produces stolons, or aerial hyphae, which on contact with a medium grow rhizoids. These anchor the fungus & absorb some water. Specialised hyphae called sporangiophores (seen here) grow opposite the rhizoids & bear spore containing sacs or sporangia at the tips. Magnification: X 170 at 35mm size. Original is bw print b250/357

Discover the intricacies of the natural world with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints. This captivating false-color Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) depicts the rhizoids, or rootlets, of the bread mould, Rhizopus stolonifer, in stunning detail. Witness the spores circulating freely in the air as they cling to the surface of the bread. Add this mesmerizing scientific image to your space, igniting curiosity and inspiring wonder in any room. The high-quality print delivers vibrant colors and sharp details, making it a must-have for science enthusiasts and decorators alike.
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 Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false colour scanning electron micrograph of rhizoids, also known as "rootlets" belonging to the bread mould Rhizopus stolonifer. The image reveals these intricate structures covering the surface of bread, providing a fascinating insight into the world of fungi. Spores, which are dispersed freely in the air, find their way onto a suitable medium and germinate into hyphae – delicate threads responsible for absorbing nutrients necessary for growth and spore production. In this case, Rhizopus produces stolons or aerial hyphae that develop rhizoids upon contact with a suitable substrate. These rhizoids serve as anchors for the fungus while absorbing water. The SEM image highlights specialized hyphae called sporangiophores growing opposite the rhizoids. At their tips, these sporangiophores bear sacs known as sporangia containing spores. This intricate network of structures is crucial for reproduction and dispersal in Rhizopus. With a magnification level of X 170 at 35mm size, this black-and-white print captures every minute detail with precision and clarity. It offers an opportunity to delve into nature's wonders through mycology – the study of fungi. This remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within even seemingly ordinary objects like bread molds while shedding light on their vital ecological roles in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes.
