Premium Framed Print : False-colour SEM of a section of lung tissue
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
False-colour SEM of a section of lung tissue
Lung tissue. False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section of lung tissue. The image shows several alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs (large, irregular dark areas) together with a few alveoli (smaller round dark areas). The alveoli are separated by a porous membrane known as the interalveolar septum. The tiny openings in the interalveolar septum are sectioned capillaries and it is in this intricate network of capillaries that the exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place. Many red blood cells are scattered throughout the frame. Magnification: x110 at 6x7cm size. x170 at 4x5ins

Capillary Lung Lungs Respiratory System False Coloured
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 showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section of lung tissue. The intricate details captured in this image provide an extraordinary glimpse into the inner workings of our respiratory system. The dark, irregular areas represent alveolar sacs and ducts, while smaller round dark areas depict individual alveoli. These vital structures are separated by the interalveolar septum, a porous membrane that plays a crucial role in gas exchange. Within the interalveolar septum, we can observe tiny openings which are actually sectioned capillaries. It is through this intricate network of capillaries that the exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs. This process is essential for sustaining life as red blood cells transport oxygen to every corner of our body. With a magnification level of x110 at 6x7cm size or x170 at 4x5ins, this SEM image offers an up-close view that would otherwise be impossible to witness with the naked eye alone. This stunning photograph not only highlights the beauty found within our own anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how complex and remarkable our bodies truly are.
