Dust mites
Dust mites. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two dust mites (Dermatophagoides sp.) on fabric fibres. Millions of dust mites inhabit the home, feeding on shed skin cells. They mainly live in furniture, and are invisible to the naked eye due to their size. The excrement and dead bodies of these mites may cause allergic reactions in susceptible people. Magnification: x150 at 6x7cm size

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 from Science Photo Library reveals the hidden world of dust mites, showcasing their intricate features and remarkable lifestyle. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), two dust mites belonging to the Dermatophagoides species can be seen clinging onto fabric fibres. These minuscule creatures are a common presence in our homes, with millions of them thriving on shed skin cells. Despite their tiny size, these arachnids play a significant role in our daily lives. Living predominantly in furniture, they remain invisible to the naked eye but leave behind traces of their existence that can have profound effects on human health. The excrement and deceased bodies of these mites act as allergens, triggering allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. At a magnification level of x150 within a 6x7cm frame, this image offers an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic world that coexists with us every day. It serves as a reminder that even though we may not see them directly, these seemingly insignificant creatures have an impact on our well-being. Through this photograph's vivid colors and precise detailing captured by SEM technology, it becomes evident how interconnected wildlife is with our household environment. This mesmerizing snapshot invites contemplation about the delicate balance between humans and nature while highlighting the unseen forces at work within our own homes.
