Six art prints, mounted on 3mm Firstbond plate (Aluminium composite) with a comfortable aluminium frame for suspension on the back. }
Frontal view of the head of the ca. 2mm long fly, which swarms around ripe fruit in summer. Because of the giant chromosomes that are found in its larva and the frequent occurence of natural mutations, fruit flies are a favorite object of genetic study.
The leech is one of the annelids, or segmented worms. They are blood-sucking, external parasites with suckers at both ends. They live in fresh water, and attack both cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals. Medical applications: for varicose veins and rheumatic diseases, and to regulate blood flow in the case of limb grafting (e.g. re-attached fingers). The leech produces the anticoagulant agent hirudin.
Ants communicate by means of their antennae. They palpate their conspecifics in rapid rhythmic progression. To permit optimum mobility, the feelers are attached by a ball-and-socket joint.
The picture shows the mouthparts of an adult animal, seen from below. Ticks pass through 3 stages of development to the mature animal, and in each phase they have a different host animal (e.g., mouse, hare, human being, big game), of which they suck the blood. Ticks of the dermacentor type are often carriers rickettsias (bacteria), which can cause spotted fever (rickettsiosis), leading to death in 70% of cases.
The picture shows a secretion through the root apex of an onion. A large number of active nuclei are to be seen. The final stage of a chromosome division - the anaphase - is visible in the center of the picture, the chromosomes are being drawn apart. On the left is a prophase, here the chromosomes are being disentangled. The surrounding nuclei are mostly in the incipient division stage, from interphase to prophase.
E. coli is an important intestinal bacterium. It can be a pathogen of urinary tract, bile duct, wound, apical and similar infections. The infection occurs through food and drinking water. Smear infections are possible. Treatment: chemotherapy and specific penicillins. E. coli is a bacterium that is widely used in genetic engineering.
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.
