Mouldy crop, SEM
Mouldy crop. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of grey rot (Botrytis sp.) on a runner bean plant. This is a parasitic fungus that can cause great damage to food crops. The threads (hyphae) of the fungus chemically digest the plant and use the digested material to grow new hyphae. Clusters of spore-bearing structures (blue) are seen here. These release spores, the reproductive structures of fungi, to drift on the wind and infect other plants. Magnification: x185 when printed 10cm high

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 destructive power of a parasitic fungus known as grey rot (Botrytis sp. ) on a runner bean plant. The image, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the intricate details of this fungal infestation. The threads, or hyphae, of the fungus can be seen chemically digesting the plant material and utilizing it to grow new hyphae. This process ultimately leads to decay and spoilage of food crops, causing significant damage in agriculture. Highlighted in blue are clusters of spore-bearing structures called sporangia. These structures play a crucial role in reproduction for fungi like Botrytis sp. , releasing spores into the air to spread and infect other plants. It is through these airborne spores that this parasitic fungus finds new hosts. With a magnification level of x185 when printed at 10cm high, this SEM image offers an up-close look at the intricate world within decaying vegetation. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger present in nature's microscopic realm. Science Photo Library continues to provide remarkable visual insights into scientific phenomena such as this one, allowing us to appreciate and understand our natural environment more deeply.
