Poster Print : Nasal lining, SEM
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Nasal lining, SEM
Nasal lining. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the olfactory epithelium that lines the nasal cavity, showing olfactory cells (red) surrounded by numerous cilia (hair-like projections, blue). The cilia are covered with a sticky mucus (not seen) that traps dust and other inhaled particles. Co-ordinated, wave-like beating of the cilia propels the mucus to the back of the nose (pharynx), where it is swallowed. The olfactory vesicles are bipolar neurons (nerve cells) that transmit smell information to the brain. Magnification: x300 when printed 10 centimetres wide

Discover the intricacies of the human body with our captivating Nasal Lining Poster Print from Media Storehouse. This mesmerizing Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library showcases the intricately detailed olfactory epithelium, where olfactory cells (in red) are surrounded by an array of cilia (hair-like projections). Bring this microscopic marvel into your home or office to inspire curiosity and ignite conversations. Each print is meticulously produced using high-quality materials to ensure lasting vibrancy and clarity. Order yours today and embark on a journey of discovery!
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 48.9cm x 42cm (19.3" 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
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the nasal lining, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the olfactory epithelium that lines the nasal cavity, with its vibrant colors highlighting different components. The red dots represent olfactory cells, which play a crucial role in our sense of smell. Surrounding these cells are countless blue hair-like projections known as cilia. What makes this scene even more fascinating is the sticky mucus that covers these cilia, although not visible in the photograph. This mucus acts as a trap for dust particles and other substances we inhale. Through coordinated and wave-like movements, these cilia beat rhythmically to propel the trapped mucus towards the back of our nose or pharynx. From there, it is eventually swallowed. The olfactory vesicles depicted here are bipolar neurons responsible for transmitting smell information to our brain. These specialized nerve cells enable us to perceive various scents and odors in our environment. With a magnification level of x300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image offers an awe-inspiring glimpse into one of nature's remarkable biological systems. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed and interconnected our bodies truly are – from microscopic structures like cilia to complex neural pathways that allow us to experience smells on a daily basis.
