Tardigrade, SEM
Water bear. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a water bear, or tardigrade (phylum Tardigrada). Water bears are small, water-dwelling, segmented micro-animals with eight legs that live in damp habitats such as moss or lichen. They are classed as extremophiles as they can survive dry conditions by changing into a desiccated state, in which they can remain for many years. Whilst in this form (known as a tun) they can withstand the most extreme environments and can tolerate radiation levels as high as x1000 more than other animals, including humans. They have even been brought back alive after spending 10 days in the vacuum of space. Magnification: x1000, when printed at 10 centimetres wide

Aquatic Coloured False Coloured Waterbear
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 incredible world of a tardigrade, also known as a water bear. The image, captured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), reveals the intricate details of this tiny creature. Tardigrades are fascinating micro-animals that reside in watery environments like moss or lichen. With their segmented bodies and eight legs, they navigate through these damp habitats with ease. What sets them apart is their ability to survive extreme conditions by entering a desiccated state called a tun. In this form, they can endure dryness for years and withstand the harshest environments. Considered extremophiles, tardigrades possess remarkable resilience. They can tolerate radiation levels up to 1000 times higher than other animals, including humans. Astonishingly, some have even returned alive after spending ten days in the vacuum of space. The false-colored SEM image allows us to appreciate the beauty hidden within this minuscule organism's structure and features. When printed at ten centimeters wide with a magnification of x1000, every detail becomes vividly apparent. Steve Gschmeissner's skillful capture transports us into an unseen realm where nature's wonders unfold on a microscopic scale. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool that invites viewers to marvel at the extraordinary capabilities possessed by these seemingly insignificant creatures - reminding us once again that there is so much more to our world than meets the eye.
