Premium Framed Print : Lithium metal
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Lithium metal
Lithium metal. Freshly cut shiny surfaces of lithium metal. Lithium (Li) is the lightest of the soft alkali metals. It can be cut with a knife. It reacts rapidly with water and oxygen in the air, therefore is usually kept in oil

Alkali Element Lithium Metal Metallic Shiny Soft Surface
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 mesmerizing beauty of lithium metal. The image captures the freshly cut, shiny surfaces of this remarkable element, revealing its unique properties and characteristics. Lithium (Li), known as the lightest of the soft alkali metals, is showcased here in all its metallic glory. The pristine surface of lithium reflects light with a brilliant shine, emphasizing its lustrous nature. Its softness is highlighted by the fact that it can be easily cut with a knife, showcasing its malleability and pliability. However, beneath this elegant exterior lies an element that reacts rapidly with both water and oxygen in the air. To preserve its integrity and prevent unwanted reactions, lithium is typically stored submerged in oil—an important detail captured within this photograph. This precautionary measure ensures that lithium remains stable until it's ready to be utilized for various scientific purposes. As we delve into chemistry and explore different elements on our periodic table, photographs like these serve as visual reminders of their inherent beauty and complexity. This particular image allows us to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also gain insight into how scientists handle such reactive substances safely. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a stunning glimpse into the world of science through their expertly captured imagery—reminding us why curiosity about our natural world continues to drive human progress forward.
