False Colour False Coloured Oryza Rice Plant
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 and diverse world of a leaf's surface. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image reveals an array of fascinating structures that make up the underside of a leaf from a rice plant (Oryza sp. ). The vibrant colors, achieved through false coloring, bring to life the botanical wonders hidden within this tiny ecosystem. The leaf's surface is adorned with various specialized features designed to fulfill different functions. Trichomes, which are hair-like projections, can be seen dotting the surface. These structures serve multiple purposes such as reducing water loss and providing protection against herbivores. Stomata, small openings surrounded by guard cells, also make an appearance in this micrograph. They play a crucial role in regulating gas exchange for photosynthesis while minimizing water loss. Additionally, oil glands add another layer of complexity to this intricate landscape. These glands produce and store essential oils that contribute to various physiological processes within the plant. Through this stunning image, we gain insight into the remarkable adaptations plants have developed over millions of years to thrive in their environments. It serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and beauty at even its tiniest scale – reminding us to appreciate and protect our precious natural world.
