Intestinal bacteria, SEM
Intestinal bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bacteria (green) on the surface of the duodenum. The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, the part that receives food from the stomach. A healthy human intestine has a large population of bacteria, most of which are harmless and some of which aid digestion. Cases of food poisoning often involve a bacterial strain that upsets the digestive system. The raised lumps are the intestinal villi, and the white, hair-like structures are microvilli, which absorb nutrients from food. Magnification: x2100 when printed 10cm high

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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of intestinal bacteria. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are given a glimpse into the surface of the duodenum, which is the first part of our small intestine responsible for receiving food from the stomach. The vibrant green bacteria that adorn the duodenal surface represent a healthy population within our intestines. While most of these microorganisms are harmless, some play a crucial role in aiding digestion. However, it is worth noting that certain strains can upset our digestive system and lead to food poisoning. As we delve deeper into this image, we notice raised lumps known as intestinal villi and delicate white hair-like structures called microvilli. These microscopic features serve an essential purpose - they absorb nutrients from our food, ensuring proper nourishment for our bodies. With a magnification level of x2100 when printed at 10cm high, this SEM photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within our own biological systems. It serves as a reminder that even on such minuscule scales, there exists an entire ecosystem working harmoniously to support human health and well-being.
