Premium Framed Print : Resin patterns, light micrograph
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Resin patterns, light micrograph
Resin patterns. Light micrograph of patterns that have formed in a resin mixture as it dries and shrinks. This is Canada balsam resin that was dissolved in xylol - the patterns formed as the xylol solvent evaporated. These patterns were observed on a microscope slide, where the resin was being used to fix samples for examination under a microscope

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 showcases the intricate beauty of resin patterns under a light microscope. As the Canada balsam resin mixture dries and shrinks, mesmerizing patterns emerge, resembling an abstract artwork. The process behind these stunning formations involves dissolving the resin in xylol and observing how the solvent evaporates to create these unique designs. The branching lines and fractal-like structures found within this micrograph highlight the complexity hidden within nature's smallest details. Each pattern tells a story of shrinkage and transformation, capturing our imagination as we explore its delicate intricacies. Taken on a microscope slide, this image represents more than just aesthetics; it serves as a tool for scientific examination. Resin is commonly used to fix samples for microscopic analysis, allowing researchers to delve into worlds unseen by the naked eye. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of both artistry and science intertwined – where beauty meets discovery. It invites us to appreciate not only the wonders of nature but also the ingenuity of human exploration through microscopy. This print from Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary world that exists beyond our perception – one filled with patterns that captivate our senses and ignite curiosity about what lies beneath the surface.
