Fruit fly, SEM Z340 / 0699
Fruit fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a fruit fly (Drosophila busckii). Its two compound eyes (red) are seen on either side of the head. Between the eyes are the antennae, which consist of small fleshy pads with bristle-like extensions called aristas. Fruit flies are widely used in genetic experiments, particularly in mutation experiments, because they reproduce rapidly and their genetic systems are well understood. Magnification: x55 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

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 details of a fruit fly's head, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the distinct features that make these tiny creatures so fascinating. At first glance, one cannot miss the vibrant red compound eyes positioned on either side of the fly's head. These compound eyes are essential for their survival and enable them to perceive their surroundings with remarkable precision. Between the eyes lie the antennae, which serve as sensory organs for this species. Composed of small fleshy pads adorned with bristle-like extensions called aristas, these antennae play a crucial role in detecting chemical signals and aiding navigation. Fruit flies have become an invaluable model organism in genetic experiments due to their rapid reproduction rate and well-understood genetic systems. Scientists rely on them extensively for mutation studies and other research endeavors within genetics. This particular image was magnified 55 times its original size when printed at 10 centimeters wide, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail. Through this mesmerizing photograph by POWER AND SYRED/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain insight into the microscopic world of fruit flies—a testament to both nature's complexity and humanity's relentless pursuit of scientific knowledge in fields such as biology, entomology, and genetics.
