Premium Framed Print : Lung alveoli, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Lung alveoli, SEM
Lung alveoli. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of alveoli (air spaces) in the lungs. Blood vessels containing erythrocytes (red blood cells) are also seen. Alveoli are the smallest divisions of the airways in the lungs, and are the sites of gaseous exchange. Here, oxygen is taken up by the blood from inhaled air, and carbon dioxide is released to be exhaled. Magnification: x40 when printed 10 centimetres wide

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 beauty of lung alveoli, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a colorful array of air spaces within the lungs, known as alveoli. These microscopic structures are crucial for gaseous exchange in the respiratory system. The vibrant false colors highlight the delicate network of capillaries that surround each alveolus. These blood vessels carry erythrocytes, or red blood cells, which play a vital role in transporting oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from our bodies. With a magnification of x40 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers an up-close glimpse into the physiological wonders occurring within our lungs. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are to facilitate respiration and sustain life. Beyond its scientific significance, this image is also visually striking. The contrasting hues and patterns create an artistic composition that blurs the line between biology and aesthetics. It invites viewers to appreciate both the complexity and elegance found within our own anatomy. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply captivated by stunning imagery, this mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library will undoubtedly spark curiosity about the remarkable processes happening inside us every day.
