Premium Framed Print : Alveolus in human lung
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Alveolus in human lung
Alveolus. False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an alveolus (blue cavity), one of the microscopic air sacs of the lungs. Adjacent alveoli are separated by a porous membrane (light red) known as the interalveolar septum. An intricate network of capillaries occupies this membrane and it is in this network that the exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place. The larger ridges in the alveolus denote the positions of underlying capillaries whereas the dark areas are openings, the interalveolar pores, which connect adjacent alveoli. Magnification: x1050 at 6x7cm size. x1675 at 4x5ins

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 from Science Photo Library offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate structure of the human lung. The image showcases an alveolus, one of the countless microscopic air sacs that make up our respiratory system. In this false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are able to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this vital organ. The alveolus is depicted as a striking blue cavity, surrounded by its neighboring counterparts separated by a porous membrane known as the interalveolar septum, which appears in light red. This thin membrane hosts a network of capillaries responsible for facilitating the exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen during respiration. As we zoom in closer, we can observe larger ridges within the alveolus indicating underlying capillary positions. Additionally, dark areas represent openings called interalveolar pores that connect adjacent alveoli. With magnification levels reaching x1050 at 6x7cm size or x1675 at 4x5ins, this photograph truly allows us to marvel at the remarkable intricacy present within our lungs. Through images like these, Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable visual resources for scientific exploration and education.
