Art print, mounted on 3mm Firstbond plate (Aluminium composite) with a comfortable aluminium frame for suspension on the back.
The black hellebore or Christmas rose has typical, dorsiventral leaves, i.e., front and back differ. The anatomical structure is clearly recognizable in the cross-section. The whole leaf is encapsulated by the cuticle (intense green), a covering that the under-lying epidermis cells form themselves by secreting hardening procutin. Embedded in the epidermis (brownish) are the stomata that permit CO2 intake and transpiration. Hairs are also formed by epidermis cells. (Protection against evaporation and radiation). Between the upper and lower epidermis is the mesophyll, which is divided into the palisade and spongy (lacunose) parenchyma. The palisade parenchyma (light green) is rich in chloroplasts (photosynthesis), the rod-shaped cells being closely clustered at right angles to the leaf surface. Intercellular spaces ensure gas exchange. The spongy parenchyma (dark green) has numerous intercellular spaces. The cells serve to remove assimilates to the vascular bundles (bluish) in this layer, and ensure gas exchange with the environment through the stomata. In the vascular bundle (blue-gray) water and nutrients are transported.
The term lamination stands for the bonding of foils with a firm base, one could also call it' mounting'. For the products in the' AluVerbund' category, a high-quality art print - a monthly sheet from the LifeSciences calendar - is mounted on a 3mm thick aluminium composite trunking material.
The art print is applied on the reverse side of a double-sided adhesive film. After the protective film has been pulled down, the art print is rolled' cold' onto the aluminium composite plate.
An extra stability of the plan is achieved by mounting the solid suspension profile on the bottom side of the picture facing the wall.
The art prints used here are the remainder of our LifeSciences Calendar (Hidden Worlds) published in the years 2002 to 2017. The image motif was created by the renowned, internationally acclaimed science photographers Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa (eye of science) on the company's own screen, Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa (eye of science).
We have carefully separated out the particularly high-quality printed monthly newspapers and prepared them for use by lamination. The surface of the art print is coated with special UV spot varnish. This gives the pictures a special brilliance. Because the product already looks very noble, we have refrained from adding an additional cover, such as acrylic.
AluDibond: Dibond® is a brand for a rigid sandwich material. The brand is owned by the manufacturer 3A Composites. Dibond® consists of two 0.3 mm thick aluminium plates thermally bonded with a polyethylene core. Dibond is correspondingly lighter than aluminium. FirstBond GbR from Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) has developed a' imitator' product with similar properties under the name' FirstBond', which is used in our aluminium composite products.
