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 open-cell polyurethane plastic foam, a material that is commonly used for stuffing cushions and pillows. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the fascinating structure of this versatile substance, which is also employed as insulating material in draught excluders. At first glance, one might mistake this image for an abstract artwork due to its mesmerizing patterns and textures. However, upon closer inspection, the viewer can appreciate the scientific significance behind it. The magnification level of X 9 at 35mm size or X 66 at 8x10-inch size allows us to delve into a microscopic world that often goes unnoticed in our daily lives. Polyurethane foam has become such a familiar object in our homes that we rarely stop to consider its complexity. This photograph serves as a reminder of how science and technology have revolutionized even the most common items we encounter on a regular basis. The vibrant hues and intricate details captured by Science Photo Library truly bring this otherwise mundane material to life. It invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within everyday objects and encourages us to explore further into the realm of scientific discovery.
