Skeletal muscle, TEM C016 / 5369
Skeletal muscle. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cross section through human skeletal (striated) muscle. Blocks of muscle (lighter grey) are surrounded by connective tissue (black). Filaments of the proteins actin and myosin (tiny dots) form the muscle myofibrils, which are enclosed by sarcoplasmic reticulum. The actin and myosin filaments can slide over one another, allowing the muscle to contract. Mitochondria (dark grey ovals) provide the large amounts of energy required by skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is under the conscious control of the brain

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 a cross section of human skeletal muscle, revealing its intricate and awe-inspiring structure. The image, taken using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), offers a glimpse into the microscopic world of our muscular system. In this monochrome masterpiece, blocks of skeletal muscle are prominently displayed in lighter grey tones, surrounded by a network of connective tissue represented in black. Delicate filaments composed of actin and myosin proteins can be observed as tiny dots forming the muscle myofibrils. These myofibrils are enclosed by sarcoplasmic reticulum, emphasizing their importance in facilitating muscle contraction. The photograph also highlights the presence of mitochondria - dark grey ovals scattered throughout the image. These organelles play a crucial role in providing the substantial energy required for skeletal muscles to function optimally. It is fascinating to note that skeletal muscles are under conscious control by our brain, enabling us to perform voluntary movements with precision and coordination. This biological marvel exemplifies both health and normalcy within our anatomy. Captured by P. Navarro, R. Bick, and B. Poindexter from UT Medical School/Science Photo Library, this histological masterpiece serves as a testament to the wonders hidden within our bodies' fibers. It invites contemplation on the complexity and beauty inherent in even the smallest units that make up our musculoskeletal system.
