Pumpkin flower petal, SEM
Pumpkin petal. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a pumpkin petal (Cucurbita sp. ). The petal is covered in tiny epidermal hairs (trichomes, brown), which protect the plant against pests and reduce water loss through evaporation. Magnification: x78 at 6x7cm size

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 a pumpkin flower petal, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The surface of the petal is adorned with an array of tiny epidermal hairs, known as trichomes, which serve multiple purposes. These brown trichomes not only provide protection to the plant against pests but also play a crucial role in reducing water loss through evaporation. The magnification level of x78 at a 6x7cm size allows us to appreciate the minute details and delicate structure of this botanical wonder. Each hair acts as a protective projection on the petal's surface, forming a hairy layer that safeguards the plant from potential harm. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of nature's ingenious mechanisms for survival and adaptation. The vibrant colors and textured surface create an enchanting visual experience that highlights both the resilience and fragility inherent in every living organism. Through this photograph by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into one small aspect of botany - exploring how plants employ various strategies to thrive in their environments. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant elements can hold immense value when observed under closer scrutiny.
