Phagocytosis of fungal spores, SEM
Phagocytosis of a fungus spore. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a neutrophil (blue) phagocytosing (engulfing and destroying) spores from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (red). Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell and are part of the bodys immune system. Aspergillus fumigatus is common in dust, soil, and on plants and plant products such as hay or grain. It can cause a number of different diseases in humans, including allergic disorder, respiratory infection and invasive disease

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 captures the intense battle between a neutrophil and fungal spores. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), the neutrophil, represented in striking blue, is seen engulfing and destroying red spores from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Neutrophils are vital components of our body's immune system, serving as its first line of defense against pathogens. Aspergillus fumigatus is a common fungus found in dust, soil, plants, and plant products like hay or grain. While seemingly harmless to most individuals, it can cause various diseases ranging from allergic disorders to respiratory infections and invasive diseases when it infects humans. The image showcases the incredible power of phagocytosis exhibited by neutrophils. These white blood cells are highly abundant within our bodies and play a crucial role in combating infections. By engulfing and digesting foreign invaders like these fungal spores, neutrophils contribute significantly to our immune response. This photograph not only highlights the intricate beauty of cellular biology but also provides valuable insights into immunology and medical research. It serves as a reminder of how our immune system works tirelessly to protect us from harmful pathogens that surround us daily.
