Premium Framed Print : Computer hard disk, simulated X-ray
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Computer hard disk, simulated X-ray
Hard disk. Simulated X-ray of a hard disk memory mechanism from a computer. This consists of a read/write head (pointed, black) on a rigid hard disk (upper centre), which is coated on both sides with magnetic material. The direction of magnetization of small localised areas of the disk represents the stored information in binary digits. Information is written and accessed by means of small electromagnets in the read/write head. The disk rotates on a central spindle and the head moves radially to access different parts of the disk. The bright portion of the disk drive at lower right contains electronic circuitry

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 simulated X-ray image of a computer hard disk, revealing the intricate memory mechanism within. At the heart of this technological marvel lies a rigid hard disk coated with magnetic material on both sides. The black, pointed read/write head hovers above it, ready to access and store information in binary digits. The mesmerizing pattern of magnetization in localized areas represents the stored data, forming the backbone of digital information. To read and write this data, small electromagnets embedded in the read/write head come into play. As the central spindle rotates the disk, the head moves radially to access different parts of its vast storage capacity. Intriguingly captured in monochrome, this artwork-like photograph invites us to ponder over our reliance on technology and how it has revolutionized our lives. It serves as a reminder that behind every seamless operation we experience daily lies complex circuitry housed within that bright portion at lower right. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through once again with their ability to capture not only scientific accuracy but also artistic beauty. This vertical composition allows us to appreciate every detail while emphasizing the significance of computing power and database management. As we gaze upon this stunning radiograph-like image, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit for innovation and advancement in computer data storage – an essential cornerstone for progress across various industries worldwide.
