Premium Framed Print : Normal female chromosomes
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Normal female chromosomes
False-colour light micrograph of a normal trypsin/leishman banded female karyotype, the full complement of female chromosomes arranged in numbered homologous pairs. The chromosomes are presented in this manner by matching up unpaired chromosomes photographed during the metaphase stage of cell division. Each member of a homologous pair is similar in length & banding pattern. Male & female sets differ only in the sex pair (bottom right); a male would be labelled XY instead of XX. The nucleus of each human cell contains a total of 46 chromosomes, 23 of maternal and 23 of paternal origin

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 showcases the intricate beauty of normal female chromosomes. Through false-colour light micrography, we are granted a magnified view of a karyotype - the complete set of numbered homologous pairs that make up the full complement of female chromosomes. Each chromosome is meticulously arranged, revealing their striking similarities in length and banding pattern. Photographed during the metaphase stage of cell division, this image captures unpaired chromosomes matched together to form these visually stunning patterns. It serves as a reminder that within each human cell nucleus lies 46 chromosomes, half originating from our maternal side and the other half from our paternal side. The double helix structure of DNA becomes even more awe-inspiring when witnessed at such close proximity. This microscopic glimpse into our genetic makeup unveils the blueprint that shapes who we are as individuals. Notably, it is intriguing to note that male and female sets differ solely in their sex pair located at the bottom right corner. In males, this pair would be labeled XY instead of XX – an essential distinction between genders encoded within our very cells. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in science through their lens, offering us a profound insight into the complexity and wonderment found within every strand of DNA.
