Coloured SEM of femoral spongy bone tissue
Human bone. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of trabeculae in cancellous (spongy) bone tissue of the femur. Bone tissue is divided into compact and cancellous. The latter fills the interior of bones and the cavities between the trabeculae are occupied by bone marrow. Trabeculae are thin and composed of irregular lamellae of bone with lacunae containing osteocytes. Lacunae are visible as tiny, round dark areas on the bone. Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for bone formation. Once they cease activity and become embedded in bone matrix they are called osteocytes. Magnification: x10 at 6x7cm size

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 showcases the intricate beauty of femoral spongy bone tissue. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we are presented with a mesmerizing view of trabeculae in cancellous (spongy) bone tissue found within the femur. The human bone is divided into two types: compact and cancellous, with the latter filling the interior of bones. The image reveals an array of delicate trabeculae, which are thin structures composed of irregular lamellae of bone. These trabeculae create a network-like pattern that gives strength to the spongy bone tissue. Within each lacuna - tiny dark areas visible on the surface - osteocytes reside as they play their crucial role in maintaining and repairing our bones. Bone marrow fills the cavities between these intricately woven trabeculae, adding further complexity to this microscopic landscape. Osteoblasts, responsible for building new bone material, transform into osteocytes once embedded within the bone matrix. At a magnification level of x10 at 6x7cm size, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's architectural masterpiece hidden beneath our skin. It serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, there is extraordinary detail and sophistication present in every part of our bodies.
