Coloured SEM of human embryo at 8-cell stage
Eight-cell embryo. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human embryo at the eight cell stage, three days after fertilisation. Known as a morula, this is a cluster of eight large rounded cells called blastomeres. Smaller spherical structures (centre right and left) will degenerate. The surface of each cell is covered in microvilli. This embryo is at the early stage of transformation into a human composed of millions of cells. Here it is dividing to form a hollow ball of cells (the blastocyst). At this eight- cell stage the morula has not yet implanted in the uterus (womb). Magnification: x900 at 6x7cm size. Mag.: x2, 500 at 8x10" ; x1080 at 4x5" 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 the intricate beauty of human life at its earliest stages. At the eight-cell stage, just three days after fertilization, we witness the remarkable transformation of a human embryo. Known as a morula, this cluster of eight large rounded cells called blastomeres holds immense potential for growth and development. The vibrant colors in this image bring to life the delicate microcosm within each cell. The surface of every individual cell is adorned with microvilli, tiny hair-like structures that play a crucial role in cellular function. As we observe closely, smaller spherical structures can be seen on either side of the blastomeres; these will eventually degenerate as part of nature's selective process. At this early stage, our embryo is embarking on an incredible journey towards becoming a fully-formed human composed of millions of cells. It is currently dividing rapidly to form what will soon become a hollow ball known as the blastocyst. It's important to note that this mesmerizing photograph captures only one moment in time – before implantation into the uterus (womb) has occurred. With magnification levels reaching up to x2,500 at 8x10 inches or x1080 at 4x5 inches size, Science Photo Library provides us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the wonders unfolding within our own bodies during those precious initial stages of existence.
