Silverfish scales, SEM
Silverfish scales (Lepisma saccharina). Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of scales from a silverfish. The silverfish is a primitive insect that has remained unchanged for millions of years, and is considered a living fossil. The silverfish is so named because it is covered in tiny shiny scales. It is a common household pest, feeding on starches in food, books and clothes. Magnification x300 when printed 10 cm wide

Coloured False Coloured Bristletail Household Pest
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
This print showcases the intricate beauty of silverfish scales, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the mesmerizing details of Lepisma saccharina, commonly known as silverfish. These ancient insects have remained virtually unchanged for millions of years, earning them the title of living fossils. The name "silverfish" aptly describes their appearance, as they are adorned with countless tiny shiny scales that glisten under close inspection. Despite their enchanting aesthetics, these creatures can be quite troublesome as common household pests. Feeding on starches found in food, books, and clothes, they often become unwelcome guests in our homes. With a magnification of x300 when printed at 10 cm wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable complexity and delicate nature of these bristletails. The false-colored presentation adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel while still preserving its authenticity. Captured by renowned photographer Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library's vast collection, this print serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant creatures possess astonishing wonders worth exploring. Whether displayed in a scientific laboratory or an art enthusiast's home gallery, this image is sure to spark curiosity and appreciation for the hidden beauty found within our natural world.
