Moth proboscis
Moth proboscis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the coiled proboscis of a moth (order Lepidoptera). The proboscis is an elongated part of the mouth, used for sucking up nectar and other liquids. Sensory taste sensilla (brown) occur at its tip. Magnification: x35 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Steve Gschmeissner, we are granted a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of a moth's proboscis. The image showcases the coiled structure of this elongated mouthpart, which serves as a vital tool for the moth in its quest for sustenance. The proboscis is beautifully colored and exhibits an astonishing level of detail under scanning electron microscopy. Its purpose becomes evident as we learn that it is primarily used for sipping nectar and other liquids essential to the moth's survival. At its tip, we can observe sensory taste sensilla, represented in rich brown hues, which enable the insect to discern flavors and navigate towards desirable food sources. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only the delicate beauty found within nature but also highlights the remarkable adaptations that have evolved over time. It reminds us that even seemingly insignificant creatures possess extraordinary features designed with precision and purpose. With a magnification of x35 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this artwork allows us to explore every minute detail captured by Gschmeissner's lens. Whether you are an enthusiast of anatomy or simply captivated by nature's wonders, this stunning print will undoubtedly spark curiosity and appreciation for these tiny yet fascinating organisms inhabiting our world.
