Salt grain and peppercorn, SEM
Salt and peppercorn. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a salt grain (blue) and a peppercorn (brown). Salt (sodium chloride) is a crystalline compound. It is commonly obtained from salt mines or by the evaporation of sea water, and used to flavour and preserve food. The peppercorn is the fruit of the tropical vine Piper nigrum. Ground peppercorns are used as a hot aromatic food seasoning. Magnification: x6 at 6x7cm size

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 a salt grain and peppercorn under the lens of a scanning electron microscope. The contrasting colors of blue and brown highlight the distinct characteristics of these two essential food seasonings. Salt, represented by the mesmerizing blue crystal, is a crystalline compound commonly obtained from salt mines or through evaporation of sea water. Not only does it add flavor to our meals, but it also serves as a preservative for various food items. Its importance in culinary arts cannot be overstated. On the other hand, we have the humble peppercorn depicted in rich brown tones. Derived from Piper nigrum, a tropical vine, this fruit adds an aromatic and spicy kick to dishes when ground into fine powder. Its presence in countless cuisines around the world has made it an indispensable ingredient for chefs and home cooks alike. The magnification level at 6x reveals intricate details that are otherwise invisible to our naked eyes. This still life composition captures not just two simple condiments but rather emphasizes their significance as flavor enhancers and preservatives within our vast array of foodstuffs. Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing such visually stunning images allows us to appreciate everyday objects like salt grains and peppercorns on an entirely new level - revealing their hidden beauty while reminding us of their vital role in enhancing our culinary experiences.
