Coloured LM of a section through a coronary artery

Coronary artery. Computer coloured light micro- graph of a cross-section though a healthy human coronary artery. The coronary artery is found on the surface of the heart and supplies blood to the heart muscle. Heart muscle is coloured blue. The artery wall made of elastic fibres and smooth muscle appears red, surrounding the lumen (or space) at centre. The lumen is clear allowing for the free passage of oxygenated blood. Arterial walls are made to withstand the pressure exerted by the pumping action of the heart. At systole, blood is forced into the arteries and the walls expand; at diastole, the walls contract and push blood forward through the artery

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 a computer-coloured light micrograph of a section through a healthy human coronary artery. The intricate details are brought to life as we explore the inner workings of this vital blood vessel. The image reveals the surface of the heart, where the coronary artery can be found diligently supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. The vibrant blue hue beautifully highlights this crucial organ that keeps us alive and beating. Surrounding the lumen, or central space within the artery, is an awe-inspiring display of red elastic fibers and smooth muscles that form its sturdy walls. These arterial walls are specifically designed to withstand and adapt to the immense pressure exerted by our heart's pumping action. During systole, when our heart contracts forcefully, blood surges into these arteries causing their walls to expand gracefully. Conversely, during diastole, as our heart relaxes momentarily between beats, these resilient walls contract rhythmically pushing forward a steady flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout our body. The clear lumen acts as an unobstructed pathway for this life-sustaining fluid to freely pass through without hindrance. It is here that oxygenated blood finds its way towards every nook and cranny within us. This remarkable photograph not only provides insight into our anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected each component in our bodies truly is - working tirelessly together to keep us alive and thriving.
