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 a carpet beetle larva hair. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the mesmerizing details of this tiny creature from the family Dermestidae. With its spear-headed shape, these hairs can be found in large numbers and may cause irritation when they come into contact with skin or are inhaled. In this snapshot of nature's wonders, we witness the delicate balance between wild life and our domestic spaces. This fauna specimen represents an important aspect of zoology, shedding light on the world of insects and invertebrates that coexist alongside us. The biology behind this hairy beetle is fascinating as it highlights how even seemingly insignificant creatures play a vital role in our ecosystem. However, their presence can also pose challenges within households, making them pests to contend with. Through false colouring techniques employed by scanning electron microscopy, we gain insight into allergens and irritants that may affect us unknowingly. This image serves as a reminder to appreciate both the beauty and potential hazards present in our surroundings. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another remarkable visual representation of scientific exploration through this stunning photograph. It invites us to delve deeper into understanding these often overlooked aspects of nature while reminding us to respect their existence without commercial exploitation.
