Human chromosome
Human chromosome. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human chromosome. Chromosomes occur in the nucleus of every cell in the body, carrying genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), arranged in discrete segments known as genes. Apart from the sex cells, every human cell contains 46 chromosomes, 23 inherited from the father and 23 from the mother. The chromosome shown here has replicated itself during cell division and so consists of two identical strands (chromatids) linked at their centre by a structure known as a centromere.

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 intricate beauty of a human chromosome. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope, we are granted an up-close view of this vital component found within every cell in our bodies. The chromosome's vibrant colors highlight its significance as it carries the blueprint for our genetic information. Composed of DNA arranged in discrete segments called genes, chromosomes play a crucial role in determining our inherited traits and characteristics. In each non-sex cell, 46 chromosomes can be found - 23 from both the father and mother. This particular chromosome has undergone replication during cell division, resulting in two identical strands known as chromatids. At the center of this mesmerizing structure lies a centromere, linking these chromatids together. Its presence signifies the unity between these replicated strands and emphasizes their importance during cellular processes. With magnification at x10,300 and printed at a size of 6x7cm, this print allows us to marvel at nature's complexity on a microscopic level. It serves as a reminder that within each tiny nucleus resides an intricate system responsible for shaping who we are. Captured by Science Photo Library, this image is not only visually stunning but also offers valuable insights into genetics and heredity – topics that continue to fascinate scientists worldwide.
