Tinted SEM of knitted polyester fabric
False-colour scanning electron micrograph to show the construction of a knitted polyester fabric. Polyesters are formed by the condensation reaction between polyhydric alcohols and polybasic acids. Linear polyesters are saturated thermoplastics and linked by dipole-dipole attractions as the carbonyll groups are polarised. They are extensively used as fibres. Magnification: x2 at 35 mm 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 knitted polyester fabric, captured through a tinted scanning electron microscope. The false-color technique employed in this scanning electron micrograph vividly highlights the construction of the fabric, revealing its complex interwoven structure. Polyesters, such as the one depicted here, are created through a condensation reaction between polyhydric alcohols and polybasic acids. These linear thermoplastics possess remarkable strength and durability while being saturated. The dipole-dipole attractions formed by polarized carbonyl groups link these polyester fibers together. Widely utilized in various applications within the textile industry, polyester fabrics have become synonymous with versatility and functionality. This SEM image provides us with an up-close view of their microscopic world, showcasing their potential for creating comfortable and long-lasting clothing items. At a magnification of x2 at 35 mm size, every detail is brought to life – from the individual threads forming intricate patterns to the overall texture that gives polyester fabrics their distinct feel. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this mesmerizing visual representation of materials science without any mention of commercial use or specific companies involved. In essence, this photograph serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like clothes can hold hidden wonders when viewed through the lens of scientific exploration.
