Premium Framed Print : Blackhead, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Blackhead, SEM
Black head. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of hairs emerging from a blockage in the skin. The material which caused the obstruction, the dead cells and debris associated with a pimple or blackhead, is attached to the emerging hair. Blackheads and pimples form when a sebaceous gland becomes blocked with a plug of dried sebum (an oily excretion). Magnification: x180 when printed 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
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a blackhead under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an obstructed hair follicle emerging from the skin, with the blockage consisting of dead cells and debris commonly associated with pimples or blackheads. The material responsible for this obstruction clings to the emerging hair, providing a visual representation of how these blemishes form. Blackheads and pimples occur when sebaceous glands become clogged by dried sebum, an oily secretion produced by our bodies. This SEM image allows us to explore the biological and physiological aspects behind these common skin issues. With a magnification level of x180 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought into focus. The photograph not only offers scientific insight but also highlights the beauty found within microscopic structures. It reminds us that even in something as seemingly mundane as a blackhead, there is complexity and wonder waiting to be discovered. As we delve into this mesmerizing world captured by Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper appreciation for both our own biology and the remarkable capabilities of modern imaging technology.
