Premium Framed Print : Nasal cavity, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Nasal cavity, SEM
Nasal cavity. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of the nasal cavity. It is covered in epithelial hair-like structures known as cilia (orange), which line the respiratory tract. They are covered with a wet, sticky mucus that humidifies inhaled air and traps dust particles and other air pollutants. Co-ordinated, wave-like beating of the cilia propels the mucus to the back of the nose (pharynx), where it is swallowed. Magnification: x1800 at 6x7cm size

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 offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our nasal cavity. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a close-up view of the surface of the nasal cavity, revealing an astonishingly complex network of tiny structures. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the vibrant orange cilia that densely cover the respiratory tract lining. These hair-like structures play a crucial role in maintaining our respiratory health by performing multiple functions simultaneously. Not only do they act as sensory receptors for our olfactory sense, enabling us to perceive various scents and smells, but they also serve as guardians against harmful air pollutants. Coordinated in their movements, these cilia beat rhythmically in wave-like motions to propel a wet and sticky mucus towards the back of our nose or pharynx. This process not only humidifies inhaled air but also effectively traps dust particles and other airborne contaminants before being swallowed. At a magnification level of x1800 on a 6x7cm size scale, this SEM photograph showcases the remarkable complexity hidden within such seemingly ordinary body parts. It reminds us once again how intricately designed and interconnected every aspect of our human body truly is.
