Six art prints, mounted on 3mm Firstbond plate (Aluminium composite) with a comfortable aluminium frame for suspension on the back.
Transmits African sleeping sickness in human beings. The infectious stages of the Trypanosoma are injected into the skin with the saliva of the tse-tse fly when sucking. The minimum period for Trypanosoma development in the fly is about 20 days at medium tropical temperatures. A once infected fly remains infectious for the rest of its life (about 6 month).
Mosquitos are common all over the world (approx. 2900 species). If at all, only the females suck blood. Aedes live very closely with people. When the skin is punctured, salivary secretions are released, which can transmit pathogens, e. g. filaria, dengue fever, yellow fever. If a female sucks up blood infected with yellow fever, for example, the pathogen multiplies in the cloak and new hosts can be infected within 4 days.
Ticks are blood-sucking mites. Their warm-blooded host animals (such as humans) they take away by shocks and their sense of smell. If a host seams, they drop from grass or bushes onto their victims, look for a warm, thin-skinned spot and drill their mouth parts into the host. The sucking process can take several days, the ticks absorb up to 200 times their body weight in blood. This can lead to the transmission of diseases (piroplasmosis, tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme disease). The picture shows an adult animal with head part in frontal view.
Diese aus Südostasien nach Mitteleuropa eingeschleppte Milbe parasitiert auf Bienen. In ihrer Heimat befällt sie nur Drohnenmaden, in Mitteleuropa jedoch auch die Maden der zukünftigen Arbeiterinnen. Die Varroa-Milbe ist für die Imkerwirtschaft von Bedeutung. Die Bekämpfung der Milben erfolgt durch eine mit Ameisensäure getränkte Pappe, die in den Bienenstock gelegt wird.
Frontalansicht des Kopfs einer Drosophila melanogaster Antennapedia. Diese Mutante hat Beine an Stelle der Fühler. Wegen der Riesenchromosomen, die man in deren Larven findet und häufg auftretenden Mutationen sind Drosophilae ein beliebtes Objekt in der Genetik.
Cacopsylla feed on leaf juice at fruit trees. They can transmit plant diseases (bacterially and virally) by puncturing the leaves and sucking from them. Seen from above the compound eyes, antennae, the three ocellae (single eyes), and the characteristic pattern can be clearly made out on head and front.
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.
