Brittle star, SEM
Brittle star (Amphipholis sp.), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). A brittle star is a marine invertebrate that is related to starfish. It has five flexible arms radiating from a central disc-shaped body, which means that unlike starfish it can use its arms to walk on the sea floor. Its mouth is underneath its body. The feeding habits of brittle stars range from those that scavenge on debris on the sea floor, to those that use their arms to filter food from the water. Magnification: x7 when printed 10cm wide

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 a brittle star, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Brittle stars are fascinating marine invertebrates closely related to starfish. With their five flexible arms extending from a central disc-shaped body, they possess remarkable mobility and can even walk along the sea floor. Unlike their starfish relatives, brittle stars have their mouth situated underneath their body. This unique adaptation allows them to engage in diverse feeding habits. Some species scavenge on debris found on the sea floor, while others employ their arms as filters to extract food particles from the surrounding water. The image's horizontal composition perfectly highlights the radial symmetry of this mesmerizing creature belonging to the echinodermata family. At seven times magnification when printed at 10cm wide, every delicate detail is brought into focus for viewers to appreciate. Whether you're an animal enthusiast or simply captivated by nature's wonders, this print offers an extraordinary glimpse into the world of marine invertebrates. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns make it a stunning addition to any collection celebrating wildlife and its diversity.
