Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Myelination of nerve fibres, TEM
Myelination of nerve fibres. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Schwann cells (blue, with brown nuclei) insulating nerve fibres (axons, pink) with a myelin sheath. The axons are seen in cross-section. Myelin (not seen) is an insulating fatty layer that surrounds axons, increasing the speed at which nerve impulses travel. It is formed when Schwann cells wrap around the fibre, depositing layers of myelin between each coil

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 process of myelination in nerve fibres. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the fascinating world of biology and neurology. The image features Schwann cells, depicted in a striking blue hue with their brown nuclei, meticulously insulating the delicate nerve fibres or axons that appear in a soft pink shade. The cross-section view allows us to witness the myelin sheath surrounding these axons, although the actual myelin layer remains unseen. Myelin, an essential fatty layer enveloping axons, plays a crucial role in enhancing the speed at which nerve impulses travel throughout our body's nervous system. This insulation is formed when Schwann cells wrap themselves around each fibre and deposit multiple layers of myelin between every coil. As we explore this visually stunning micrograph further, it becomes evident how intricately interconnected our biological systems truly are. The image highlights not only the complex anatomy of nerves but also emphasizes their vital function within our human bodies. With its false-coloured representation and captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this print provides an awe-inspiring insight into neuroscience and neuron structure. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within our own cellular makeup – an exquisite testament to nature's ingenuity.
