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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a snake's head, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating world of this suborder Serpentes creature. At the center of attention is its forked tongue, an organ used for detecting prey by capturing scent particles from the air. The image beautifully highlights the snake's sensory capabilities and its remarkable adaptation for survival in the wild. Every scale on its reptilian skin can be observed with precision, revealing nature's meticulous craftsmanship. This photograph serves as a testament to zoology and biology enthusiasts who seek to unravel the mysteries of these incredible creatures. The false-colored SEM image not only offers insight into herpetology but also emphasizes how technology aids our understanding of wildlife. With each pixel meticulously captured by a scanning electron microscope, we are granted access to an otherwise hidden world within this reptile's mouth and eyes. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded that snakes possess extraordinary olfactory senses and rely heavily on their ability to taste and smell their surroundings through their forked tongues. It is through such detailed observations that we gain appreciation for the diverse fauna that inhabits our planet.
