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 intricate and mesmerizing body surface of an unidentified mosquito. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a close-up view of overlapping scales that adorn the insect's body, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of nature's smallest creatures. The image highlights the remarkable details and textures found on this tiny invertebrate, emphasizing its importance within the realm of zoology. Each scale is meticulously captured, showcasing their delicate structure and vibrant colors. This snapshot allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty that exists even in seemingly insignificant organisms. As we explore this photograph, we are reminded of the vast diversity present in wildlife. Mosquitoes play crucial roles within ecosystems as both pollinators and prey for other animals. Despite their reputation as pests due to their ability to transmit diseases, this image encourages us to see beyond our preconceived notions and marvel at their intricate design. Through advanced imaging techniques like SEM, scientists can delve deeper into understanding these minute creatures' biology and behavior. Such research contributes significantly to our knowledge of insects' evolution, adaptation, and ecological significance. Science Photo Library continues to provide awe-inspiring visuals that bridge artistry with scientific exploration. This particular print serves as a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to nature's wonders – even within something as small as a mosquito's body surface.
