Premium Framed Print : Operator using a transmission electron microscope
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Operator using a transmission electron microscope
Operator using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The operating console is seen with a TV monitor and magnified image. A beam of electrons from an electron gun is projected down the microscope column (white), passing through the sample of material to be observed, and hitting a screen which fluoresces to give the image. The electron beam is focused by electron magnets. The sample needs to be cut very thin to allow the electrons to pass through it. TEMs may demonstrate resolutions of 0.2-0.5 nanometres under perfect conditions, about 400 times better than the resolution of a scanning electron microscope

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
In this photo print, we witness the intricate world of scientific exploration through the lens of a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The operator is fully engrossed in their work, delicately manipulating the operating console while peering into a TV monitor displaying a magnified image. The TEM's complex mechanism comes to life before our eyes. A beam of electrons, emitted from an electron gun, travels down the microscope column in a brilliant white glow. Passing through a meticulously prepared sample of material, these electrons strike a screen that emits fluorescent light, revealing an awe-inspiring image. To achieve such remarkable clarity and precision, the electron beam is skillfully focused by powerful magnets within the microscope. The sample itself must be sliced incredibly thin to allow for unobstructed passage of these minuscule particles. Under ideal conditions, TEMs can unveil details as small as 0.2-0.5 nanometers – an astonishing resolution approximately 400 times superior to scanning electron microscopes. This photograph not only showcases cutting-edge technology but also highlights the dedication and expertise required by technicians and scientists who utilize these advanced techniques in their pursuit of knowledge. Captured by Science Photo Library with utmost finesse and artistry, this image invites us into the realm where science meets art – where curiosity intertwines with innovation to unravel nature's most enigmatic secrets.
