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 showcases the intricate process of pollen germination on the stigma of goosegrass, also known as cleavers or Galium aparine. In this mesmerizing display of nature's reproductive wonders, we witness the delicate interaction between plant and pollen. The image captures a close-up view of a single stigma adorned with numerous vibrant grains of pollen. As if performing an ancient dance, these tiny particles begin to germinate upon contact with the receptive surface. The remarkable detail reveals each grain extending its slender tube-like structure in search of an ovule for fertilization. This snapshot not only highlights the beauty found within botanical realms but also sheds light on the crucial role played by pollination in plant reproduction. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant processes like pollen germination are essential for sustaining life on our planet. As we marvel at this stunning visual representation, let us appreciate how plants have evolved intricate mechanisms to ensure their survival through reproduction. This photograph invites us into a world where every element has its purpose and contributes to the grand tapestry of life. Science Photo Library continues to capture such extraordinary moments in nature, reminding us of the awe-inspiring complexity and diversity that exists within our natural world.
