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 captures the intricate beauty of a fly glandular organ, as seen through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false-colored image showcases the vibrant hues and delicate structures that make up this fascinating organ found on the rear of a March fly from the Bibionidae family. The glandular organ serves multiple purposes, acting as both a sex gland and an aid to reproduction. It secretes substances that attract other flies, playing a crucial role in their reproductive cycle. This unique adaptation highlights the complex nature of animal behavior and evolution. The SEM technique used to capture this image allows us to delve into the microscopic world of insects, revealing details that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Through this lens, we gain insight into zoological wonders and marvel at the intricacies of insect anatomy. As we explore further into entomology and biology, it becomes clear how essential these glands are for successful reproduction in flies. They play a pivotal role in ensuring species survival by facilitating attraction between individuals. This stunning photograph not only showcases nature's incredible diversity but also reminds us of its fragility. By appreciating such images, we deepen our understanding and appreciation for wildlife while recognizing our responsibility towards its preservation.
