Coloured SEM of blood pressure monitor on a match
Blood pressure monitor. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a tiny blood pressure monitor implant on the head of a match. This device is designed to be implanted just under the skin in long-term intensive care patients, to provide a continuous measure of their blood pressure. Blood pressure is an important measure of the bodys overall health. This device is novel in that it can be programmed and read from outside the body. Conventional implants have to be linked to computers by wires, which cause discomfort and can lead to infection. Magnification: x10 at 6x7cm size

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 coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a remarkable innovation in medical technology - a blood pressure monitor implanted on the head of a match. Designed specifically for long-term intensive care patients, this tiny device is ingeniously placed just beneath the skin to provide continuous and accurate measurements of their blood pressure. The significance of monitoring blood pressure cannot be overstated as it serves as an essential indicator of overall health. What sets this particular implant apart from conventional ones is its groundbreaking ability to be programmed and read externally. Gone are the days when wires had to connect implants to computers, causing discomfort and posing infection risks. With a magnification level of x10 at 6x7cm size, this SEM image beautifully captures the intricate details and advanced engineering behind this miniature marvel. The juxtaposition between the delicate matchstick and cutting-edge medical equipment creates an intriguing still life composition that sparks curiosity. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into scientific progress, reminding us that innovation knows no bounds when it comes to improving healthcare outcomes. Let this photograph serve as inspiration for future advancements in medical devices that prioritize patient comfort while delivering vital information for better treatment decisions.
