Premium Framed Print : Cornea, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Cornea, SEM
Cornea. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a cornea, the transparent region on the outer surface of the eye. The front of the eye is at top. The corneal epithelium (pink) lies above the substantia propria (parallel white/blue lines), the dense collagenous connective tissue that constitutes the bulk of the cornea. The cornea refracts (bends) light entering the eye onto the lens, thus helping to focus images onto the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye. Magnification: x800 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 the cornea, the transparent region on the outer surface of our eyes. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the complex layers and structure that make up this vital part of our visual system. At first glance, we observe the front of the eye positioned at the top, with its attention-grabbing pink corneal epithelium resting above. Below it lies the substantia propria, an awe-inspiring dense collagenous connective tissue characterized by parallel white and blue lines. It is within this bulk of tissue that most of the cornea's composition resides. The significance of these layered structures becomes apparent as we learn about their role in vision. The cornea acts as a refractor, skillfully bending light rays that enter our eyes onto our lenses. This crucial function aids in focusing images onto our retina – a light-sensitive area located at the back of our eyes. With a magnification level set at x800 for a 6x7cm size print, every detail has been meticulously captured to provide us with an extraordinary view into this microscopic world. As we admire this image from Science Photo Library, let us marvel at how such complexity seamlessly combines to grant us one of life's greatest gifts – sight.
