Alga Algae Algal Diatom Frustule Phytoplankton Plankton Planktonic Single Celled Unicellular False Coloured
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 a Diatom alga, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a Biddulphia sp. diatom, an enchanting marine planktonic unicellular alga that thrives in our oceans. What makes this diatom truly remarkable is its mineralized cell wall, known as a frustule, which is divided into two halves. Composed primarily of silica, this frustule not only offers protection to the delicate organism but also provides essential support for its survival. The vibrant colours portrayed in this photograph are false-coloured enhancements added during the imaging process to highlight specific features and characteristics of the diatom. Through advanced technology and scientific expertise, we can now appreciate the mesmerizing details that would otherwise remain hidden from our naked eyes. As we delve into nature's botanical wonders, it becomes evident how diverse and awe-inspiring life on Earth truly is. This single-celled marvel serves as a reminder of the extraordinary complexity found within even seemingly simple organisms. With each glance at this photo print, one cannot help but be captivated by the elegance and intricacy displayed by this marine phytoplankton. It stands as a testament to both the power of biology and mankind's ability to unlock nature's secrets through cutting-edge tools like scanning electron microscopes.
