Record surface, SEM
Record surface. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of grooves on the surface of a record. The grooves in the plastic vary in shape. This variation is detected by a stylus that runs over the grooves and transformed to produce a variation in sound output

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 vibrant and captivating print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a record's surface. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a mesmerizing display of grooves that adorn the plastic disc. Each groove possesses its own unique shape, contributing to the diverse patterns found on the record. The significance of these grooves lies in their ability to produce sound when detected by a stylus. As it runs over the undulating surface, variations in shape are transformed into variations in sound output, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the world of music. This technological marvel has been an integral part of our lives for decades, providing countless hours of joy and entertainment. The orange hues used in this SEM image add a touch of vibrancy to an otherwise familiar object - vinyl records have become iconic symbols within our culture. By capturing this common item through such advanced technology like a scanning electron microscope, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate the beauty hidden within everyday objects. Whether you're an audiophile or simply intrigued by scientific imagery, this print serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary items can possess extraordinary intricacies worth exploring.
