Coloured SEM of Rose aphid nymph feeding on a leaf
Rose aphid nymph. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Rose aphid nymph Macrosiphon rosae feeding on a rose leaf. This wingless nymph is an immature form of the adult aphid. Known as plant lice, aphids are specialised plant feeders that suck the sap from plant veins. At centre is the head with long antennae, compound eyes, and a tube-like sucking mouthpart (proboscis). The pro- boscis is penetrating the leaf surface while it feeds. There are three pairs of walking legs; at the posterior end of the body are two short tubes called cornicles which secrete pheromones and waxes. Macrosiphon rosae feeds on domestic roses.

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 details of a Rose aphid nymph as it feeds on a delicate rose leaf. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the fascinating features of this wingless nymph, which is an immature stage of the adult aphid. Known as plant lice, these specialised feeders extract sap from plant veins to sustain themselves. At the center of the image, we observe the nymph's head adorned with long antennae and compound eyes that provide sensory perception in its tiny world. Its tube-like sucking mouthpart, known as a proboscis, can be seen penetrating the surface of the leaf while it indulges in its meal. The nymph possesses three pairs of walking legs that aid in maneuvering across leaves and stems. Towards its posterior end are two short tubes called cornicles, responsible for secreting pheromones and waxes essential for communication within their community. Macrosiphon rosae is specifically adapted to feed on domestic roses, making this microscopic creature both intriguing and potentially troublesome for garden enthusiasts. This remarkable SEM image has been magnified 25 times at a size of 6x9cm or 80 times at 15x27cm dimensions to allow us to appreciate every minute detail. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph provides an extraordinary glimpse into the hidden world of invertebrates and highlights nature's incredible diversity.
