PLM of human hair
Polarised light micrograph of a human hair. This image shows the speckled appearance of the central region of the hair, the medulla. The medulla is contained by the cortex, which carries the colouration pigments. The outer shell of the hair is the cuticle. Magnification x200 at 35mm size

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 human hair. Captured through polarised light microscopy, this image showcases the central region of a hair strand known as the medulla, revealing its unique speckled appearance. The medulla is encased by the cortex, which houses the pigments responsible for our hair's coloration. Finally, forming an outer protective layer is the cuticle, serving as a shield against external elements. At a magnification of x200 and printed at 35mm size, this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable complexity hidden within something as seemingly ordinary as a single strand of hair. It serves as a reminder that even in our everyday experiences, there lies an extraordinary world waiting to be explored. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image holds great scientific value by providing valuable insights into human anatomy and shedding light on various aspects related to hair structure and composition. While it may not bear any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company, it undoubtedly sparks curiosity and invites further exploration into our own bodies' intricacies. Whether you are fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by nature's wonders, this print serves as both an educational tool and a stunning piece of art that will captivate viewers from all walks of life.
