Light micrograph of normal human compact bone
Light micrograph of a cross-section of normal human compact bone tissue, as found in the shafts of the long bones such as the femur. The rings correspond to concentric bands of calcified material called lamellae. They are centered around an Haversian canal, a channel for the nerves and blood & lymph vessels which runs the entire length of the bone. Each of the small white areas is a lacuna, a hole in the bone which is occupied by an osteocyte or bone cell. The active form of the osteocyte is the osteoblast cell, responsible for bone formation. Each canal and its surrounding lamellae form whats called an Haversian system. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 a mesmerizing view of normal human compact bone tissue. The intricate details captured in this light micrograph provide a glimpse into the complex structure of our bones, specifically those found in the long bones like the femur. The concentric rings visible in the image represent lamellae, which are bands of calcified material. These lamellae encircle an essential component known as the Haversian canal. Serving as a vital channel for nerves and blood & lymph vessels, these canals run throughout the entire length of the bone. Each small white area depicted here is referred to as a lacuna - tiny holes within the bone that house osteocytes or bone cells. Among them, we find active osteoblast cells responsible for bone formation. Together, each Haversian canal and its surrounding lamellae form what is scientifically termed an Haversian system. This remarkable photograph was taken at 200 times magnification using a 35mm size lens by Science Photo Library. Through this visually stunning image, we gain insight into both the beauty and complexity of our skeletal structure. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are and highlights the fascinating world that lies beneath our skin's surface.
