Poster Print : Muscle fibres
Poster 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

Discover the intricacy of the human body with our captivating Muscle Fibres Poster Print from the Media Storehouse range by Science Photo Library. This stunning, computer-enhanced confocal light micrograph reveals the complex structure of skeletal muscle fibres, showcasing the striations that define their unique character. As a reminder of the marvels of science and the intricate mechanisms underlying our movements, this poster is an inspiring addition to any workspace, classroom, or home. Experience the beauty of science with Media Storehouse.
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 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.
