Earth Science Igneous Mineral Polarised Light Micrograph Rock Rocks Volcanic Gabbro Section Sectioned
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 the mesmerizing beauty of a Gabbro rock, captured through polarised light micrography. The intricate details and vibrant colors displayed in this image offer a glimpse into the fascinating world of geology and igneous formations. Gabbro is an intriguing type of volcanic rock that forms deep within the Earth's crust. Its composition consists mainly of dark-colored minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar, which give it its characteristic appearance. This particular sectioned sample allows us to observe the unique arrangement of these minerals under polarised light, revealing stunning patterns and textures. The use of polarised light microscopy enhances our understanding of rocks like gabbro by highlighting their internal structures and mineral compositions. By studying these microscopic features, scientists can unravel important clues about geological processes, including magma cooling rates and crystal growth. As we delve deeper into earth science research, images like this one from Science Photo Library serve as invaluable tools for education and exploration. They not only captivate our imagination but also provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape our planet.
