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 false-colour scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the fungiform papillae on the human tongue. Magnified to reveal intricate details, this microscopic view offers a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy of our taste buds. The image highlights the delicate nature of the squamous epithelium that covers these papillae, giving them their distinct shape and texture. Each individual papilla is uniquely shaped like a tiny mushroom, hence its name "fungiform". These structures are responsible for housing our taste buds, making them crucial in our perception of flavors. Through this vividly colored SEM image, we can appreciate the complexity and beauty found within our own bodies. The vibrant hues utilized here enhance different features and textures present on each papilla, helping us better understand their structure and function. This photograph serves as a reminder of how science enables us to explore even the smallest aspects of ourselves. It invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within our own tongues and encourages further exploration into understanding how we experience taste sensations. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning print not only appeals to those interested in anatomy or biology but also sparks curiosity among anyone who appreciates artistry combined with scientific discovery.
