Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Close-up of an eye wearing a hard contact lens
A hard-type contact lens in situ, resting on the cornea of the eye, separated from the highly sensitive tissue by a film of tear fluid. With the wearer looking upwards, the lens can be seen to be covering the pupil & a part of the iris, the coloured muscular diaphragm that regulates the size of the pupil & hence the amount of light entering the eye

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 a close-up of an eye adorned with a hard contact lens. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the intricate anatomy and functioning of our visual sense. As we peer into the eye, we can observe the lens resting gently on the cornea, separated by a delicate film of tear fluid to protect the highly sensitive tissue beneath. With the wearer looking upwards, we can clearly see how this hard-type contact lens covers both the pupil and a portion of the iris – that remarkable colored muscular diaphragm responsible for regulating the size of our pupils and controlling light entry into our eyes. The photograph serves as a reminder of just how remarkable our sight is and how modern advancements like contact lenses have revolutionized vision correction. It highlights not only their practicality but also their ability to seamlessly integrate with our natural ocular structures. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image offers valuable insights into human biology and serves as a testament to scientific exploration in understanding our own bodies. It reminds us that even in everyday objects like contact lenses lie wonders waiting to be discovered through observation and study.
