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 a midge antenna, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The antenna, belonging to this small fly species, is adorned with an array of sensory hairs that play a crucial role in its survival. These delicate hairs enable the midge to detect and follow scents of food while also sensing even the slightest movements around it. Insects possess two antennae positioned between their eyes on the head, serving as vital sensory organs. This particular image emphasizes the astonishing detail found within nature's smallest creatures. Although we are unsure about the exact magnification used for this photograph, it undoubtedly unveils an unseen world full of complexity and wonder. The vibrant colors showcased in this SEM image add an artistic touch to our scientific understanding of these fascinating creatures. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly insignificant organisms like flies or midges, there lies immense beauty waiting to be discovered. With its focus on nature, animal life, wild life, zoology, and anatomy among other fields; this mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library provides us with a glimpse into the sensitive and sensory world of insects. Letting our imagination roam freely within microscopic realms allows us to appreciate both their essential role in ecosystems and their remarkable adaptations for survival.
