Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Pipistrelle bat ear, SEM
Pipistrelle bat ear. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the ear of a pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus). The tragus, the fold that protrudes into the centre of the ear, has been found to be important in echolocation. In echolocation, the bat emits a series of high- pitched sounds, whose echoes are detected by the ears. The echoes are used to build up a three- dimensional map of its surroundings, which is used for navigation and detecting prey

Discover the intricate world of nature with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints. This captivating image showcases a coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a Pipistrelle bat ear, revealing its complex structure in stunning detail. A must-have for nature enthusiasts, educators, or anyone seeking to bring the wonders of science into their home or workspace. Our high-quality poster prints are designed to last, ensuring vibrant colours and sharp details for years to come.
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 Pipistrelle bat ear, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false-colored image reveals the remarkable details of this essential organ for echolocation. The focus of attention is on the tragus, a distinct fold that protrudes into the center of the bat's ear. Scientists have discovered that this structure plays a crucial role in echolocation, an extraordinary ability possessed by bats. Echolocation involves emitting high-pitched sounds and then detecting their echoes with their ears. These echoes provide valuable information about the surroundings, enabling bats to construct a three-dimensional map used for navigation and hunting prey. In this visually stunning print, we witness nature's ingenuity at work as it equips these fascinating creatures with exceptional sensory capabilities. The colored SEM brings to life every minute detail of the bat's auditory system – from its delicate structures to its biological mechanisms. This photograph not only celebrates wildlife but also highlights significant aspects of zoology and biology. It serves as a reminder of how animals have evolved unique adaptations to survive and thrive in their environments. Through scientific exploration and imaging techniques like SEM, we gain deeper insights into nature's wonders while appreciating its aesthetic allure.
