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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of biology and medicine. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of an infected nail, revealing the presence of bacteria. The image beautifully captures the complexity and fragility of our biological makeup. The vibrant colours used in this false-coloured SEM add an artistic touch to the scientific subject matter, making it visually striking. It serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies, there exists a hidden universe teeming with life. Paronychia, a bacterial infection affecting the nail, is depicted here. This condition can cause discomfort and pain for those affected but fortunately can be treated with antibiotic drugs. The photograph emphasizes both the importance of proper medical care and highlights how microscopic organisms can impact our daily lives. Through this image, we gain insight into the microscopic realm where bacteria thrive on keratin-rich surfaces like nails. Staphylococci bacteria are visible in stunning detail under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Such images not only contribute to scientific research but also inspire awe at nature's intricacies. Science Photo Library continues to provide us with breathtaking visuals that bridge artistry and science seamlessly. This particular print reminds us of both our vulnerability as humans and our ability to combat infections through medical advancements.
