Foraminifera, light micrograph C016 / 8597
Foraminifera. Interphase contrast light micrograph of a selection of different foraminifera. Foraminifera are marine single-celled protozoa that construct and inhabit shells composed of several chambers. These are usually penetrated by pores through which the cellular content is extruded. The shells form an important component of chalk. In past geological ages, foraminifera were so numerous that their shells, largely composed of calcium carbonate, have formed immense fossil deposits, seen today as limestone.

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 world of Foraminifera, a group of marine single-celled protozoa. The image, captured under interphase contrast light microscopy, reveals a selection of different foraminifera species. These remarkable organisms construct and inhabit shells composed of multiple chambers, which are often permeated by pores through which their cellular content is extruded. Foraminifera play a crucial role in the formation of chalk, as their calcium carbonate shells accumulate over time to create immense fossil deposits seen today as limestone. In past geological ages, these tiny creatures were so abundant that their fossilized remains formed vast formations. The magnified view provided by this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and delicate structures within each foraminiferan shell. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of microscopic marine life and highlights the beauty found within even the tiniest organisms. With its emphasis on nature's diversity and complexity, this image serves as a reminder of how interconnected all forms of life are in our oceans. It invites contemplation about the wonders hidden beneath the surface and sparks curiosity about the countless microorganisms that shape our planet's ecosystems. Captured by Frank Fox from Science Photo Library, this stunning print is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insight into biological processes and natural history without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company.
