Chimpanzee skull, X-ray
Chimpanzee skull. Coloured X-ray of a side view of a chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) skull. The cranium (upper right) is considerably smaller than in humans. It consists of many spongy bones (centre right) fused at sutures. A prominent brow ridge (upper left) is present above the eyes. The large lower jawbone (mandible, lower left) contains flat molar teeth and is attached to powerful chewing muscles

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 details of a chimpanzee skull, captured through an X-ray imaging technique. The image provides a side view of the skull belonging to a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), one of our closest primate relatives in the animal kingdom. Upon closer examination, we notice that the cranium, located in the upper right portion of the image, is notably smaller compared to that of humans. Composed of several spongy bones fused at sutures, it highlights unique characteristics specific to this species. The photograph also draws attention to a prominent brow ridge positioned above its eyes on the upper left side. This feature adds depth and dimension to its facial structure while representing an evolutionary distinction from human anatomy. Furthermore, we observe the large lower jawbone or mandible on the lower left corner. Equipped with flat molar teeth and connected to powerful chewing muscles, it serves as a testament to their dietary habits and adaptations for survival in their natural habitat. Through vibrant coloring techniques employed during radiography, this false-colored X-ray brings forth not only scientific insights but also artistic allure. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both biological intricacies and aesthetic beauty found within nature's creations. Captured by Science Photo Library – renowned for their exceptional visual documentation – this mesmerizing print invites us into the fascinating world of zoology and mammalian biology while celebrating wildlife diversity.
