Sheep tick, SEM
Sheep tick. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus). The ticks mouthparts are between its two front legs. This arachnid is the principal vector of Lyme disease, which is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, in Europe. It is common in the damp underbrush of European woods and attacks various domestic and wild animals, including dogs and humans. Lyme disease causes skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities, and recurrent arthritis

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 details of a sheep tick, captured using a scanning electron microscope. The vibrant colors bring to life this arachnid, known as Ixodes ricinus, which plays a significant role in transmitting Lyme disease throughout Europe. Positioned between its two front legs are the ticks' mouthparts, highlighting its parasitic nature. Found commonly in the damp underbrush of European woods, this blood-sucking creature targets both domestic and wild animals including dogs and humans. Its ability to transmit Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria makes it the principal vector for Lyme disease. This debilitating illness can lead to skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities, as well as recurrent arthritis. The image not only provides an up-close look at this fascinating zoological specimen but also serves as a reminder of the delicate balance within our natural world. By studying these parasites through advanced microscopy techniques like SEM, scientists gain valuable insights into their biology and behavior. Displayed against a clean background with cut-out precision, this false-colored photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty hidden within even the tiniest creatures that coexist with us on Earth. It is through such scientific exploration that we deepen our understanding of nature's intricacies while striving towards better prevention and treatment strategies for diseases transmitted by these ecto-parasites.
