Premium Framed Print : Cerebellum structure, light micrograph
Framed Photos From Science Photo Library
Cerebellum structure, light micrograph
Cerebellum structure. Fluorescent light micrograph of a section through the cerebellum of the brain. The cerebellum comprises three main layers. The outer grey matter (cortex) comprises the molecular layer (green) and the granular layer (blue). The molecular layer is largely made up of the highly branched dendrites of Purkinje nerve cells (green), the large round bodies of which are found at the junction between the molecular and granular layers. Within the grey matter is the white matter (red), largely made up of the axons of the grey matters nerve cells. The cerebellum is involved in motor control, sensory perception and learning. Magnification: x20 when printed 10cm wide

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 the intricate structure of the cerebellum, a vital part of the brain responsible for motor control, sensory perception, and learning. The image, captured using fluorescent light microscopy, reveals the complexity and beauty of this anatomical wonder. The cerebellum is composed of three main layers that can be distinguished in this micrograph. The outermost layer, known as the cortex or grey matter, consists of two distinct regions: the molecular layer (depicted in vibrant green) and the granular layer (displayed in striking blue). Within these layers lies an abundance of Purkinje nerve cells whose highly branched dendrites are represented by vivid green structures. These unique cells have round bodies located at the junction between the molecular and granular layers. Delving deeper into this mesmerizing composition reveals another crucial component: white matter depicted in intense red hues. Composed primarily of axons originating from nerve cells within grey matter areas, white matter plays a significant role in transmitting signals throughout different parts of our nervous system. This remarkable photograph not only captures scientific excellence but also serves as a testament to nature's artistry. Its detailed portrayal invites us to marvel at both its biological significance and aesthetic appeal.
