EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Stomoxys calcitrans, a species of fly belonging to the Diptera order and Brachycera Muscidae family. Enlarged under the microscope from A. Celli's renowned publication "Manuale dell'igienista" this image provides an intricate glimpse into the world of these tiny creatures. Taken in Torino in 1912, this photograph is not only a testament to the advancements in scientific research but also a reminder of our fascination with the natural world. The detailed depiction allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within even the smallest organisms. The Stomoxys calcitrans, commonly known as stable flies or biting house flies, are notorious for their painful bites on both animals and humans alike. As arthropods and insects play crucial roles in ecosystems worldwide, studying them becomes imperative for understanding their impact on public health and agriculture. Microbiology slides like this one serve as valuable tools for researchers across various fields such as general biology, mathematical and natural sciences, zoology, zootechnics, entomology, veterinary medicine, and more. They provide insights into insect behavior patterns while aiding scientists in developing effective control measures against disease vectors like mosquitoes. Giorgio Roster's expertise behind capturing this remarkable image highlights his dedication to documenting scientific subjects accurately. Through his lens, we gain access to a hidden realm that would otherwise remain unseen by most. As we admire this photograph today—over a century after it was taken—it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of nature's intricacies. It sparks curiosity about what other wonders lie waiting beneath microscopes yet to be explored by future generations of scientists.
