Cytoplasmic streaming in onion cells
Cytoplasmic streaming. Coloured light micrograph (LM) of a section through some onion cells, Allium cepa, showing cytoplasmic streaming. Strands of cytoplasm can be seen in the cell at centre. Cytoplasmic streaming, or cyclosis, is the mechanism by which general transport and solute movement takes place within the cell. This two-way process is aided by protein microtubules of the cells cytoskeleton. Cellular transport also occurs by diffusion. The cytoplasm is a viscous fluid inside the cell wall that surrounds the nucleus and other cell contents. Differential interference contrast. Magnification: x330 at 35mm 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 mesmerizing phenomenon of cytoplasmic streaming in onion cells. The image, taken using a colored light micrograph, reveals a section through several onion cells (Allium cepa) with strands of cytoplasm visibly flowing within the central cell. Cytoplasmic streaming, also known as cyclosis, is an essential mechanism for transporting substances and solutes within the cell. The intricate process relies on protein microtubules present in the cell's cytoskeleton to facilitate two-way movement. Additionally, cellular transport occurs through diffusion. The cytoplasm itself is a thick fluid that fills the space between the cell wall and encloses various cellular components including the nucleus. Differential interference contrast was employed to capture this stunning image at a magnification of x330 on a 35mm scale. This technique enhances contrast by exploiting differences in refractive indices among different parts of the specimen. This photograph not only highlights the beauty inherent in botanical science but also provides valuable insights into plant structure and cellular dynamics. It serves as a reminder of nature's complexity and showcases how even seemingly simple organisms like onions possess intricate mechanisms for sustaining life at microscopic levels.
