Premium Framed Print : Multiple sclerosis
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis. Illustration of the brain and spinal cord of a woman suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS). Also seen in the image is a magnified view of the spinal cord (upper right) showing individual nerve fibres. At lower right is a magnified view of an axon within one of the nerve fibres which is covered with a protective myelin sheath (grey). In MS, patches of the myelin sheath are destroyed. These patches of destroyed myelin are known as plaques (black). The affected nerve fibres cannot conduct nerve impulses properly, so body functions such as movement and sensation are lost. The cause of MS is not known

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 complexities of multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating neurological condition. The image portrays the brain and spinal cord of a woman afflicted by MS, providing an illustrative insight into the disease. In the upper right corner, we observe a magnified view of the spinal cord, revealing individual nerve fibers that play a crucial role in transmitting signals throughout the body. Meanwhile, at the lower right corner, our attention is drawn to an axon within one of these nerve fibers. This axon is enveloped by a protective myelin sheath depicted in shades of grey. However, in individuals with MS, patches known as plaques emerge on this myelin sheath – represented here as black areas. These destructive plaques disrupt proper nerve impulse conduction and result in significant loss of bodily functions such as movement and sensation. Despite extensive research efforts, scientists have yet to determine the exact cause behind this enigmatic condition that affects millions worldwide. This thought-provoking artwork serves not only as an educational tool but also highlights the urgent need for continued medical advancements and improved healthcare for those living with multiple sclerosis.
