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).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Turtle ant's head, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The soldier turtle ant, belonging to the Cephalotes species found in the lush Amazonian rainforest, possesses an enlarged head that serves as its primary defense mechanism against intruders. In this image, we can observe one of its compound eyes on the left side, radiating a mesmerizing shade of green. Positioned at the lower center are its formidable jaws, ready to protect their nests from any potential invaders. The remarkable enlargement and armoured structure of these ants' heads make them truly fascinating creatures in the realm of zoology and entomology. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into their unique biology but also highlights their importance within the delicate ecosystem of the Amazon rainforest. As arboreal insects with false-coloured bodies resembling turtles, they play crucial roles in maintaining balance and harmony within their habitat. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment using advanced imaging technology such as SEM. Through this stunning visual representation, viewers are transported into an unseen world where even tiny organisms like ants possess extraordinary features worth exploring further.
