Centipede underside, SEM
Centipede. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the underside of a centipede. Centipedes (class Chilopoda) are arthropods with elongated bodies and one pair of legs per segment. The head is at left, with two branching antennae that are sensory structures. Centipedes are swift nocturnal predators that kill their prey using powerful venom administered from forelegs that have been modified to function as fangs (left, between the antennae). They feed on worms and insects, though the larger (tropical) ones (up to 30 centimetres long) hunt small birds, lizards and mammals. Magnification: x7 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate underside of a centipede, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating world of this arthropod. Centipedes belong to the class Chilopoda and are known for their elongated bodies and one pair of legs per segment. In this image, we can see the head on the left side, adorned with two branching antennae that serve as sensory structures. Centipedes are swift nocturnal predators, relying on their powerful venom to immobilize and kill their prey. Their forelegs have evolved into fangs, positioned between the antennae in this photograph. While most centipedes feed on worms and insects, some larger tropical species can grow up to 30 centimeters long and even hunt small birds, lizards, and mammals. With a magnification of x7 when printed at 10cm wide, this panoramic SEM image allows us to appreciate the biological intricacies of these carnivorous creatures. It offers an insight into their anatomy - from head to tail - showcasing how they have adapted over time as efficient predators in nature's diverse ecosystem. This stunning print is perfect for those fascinated by zoology or anyone who appreciates nature's wonders up close. Its vibrant colors and detailed features make it an excellent addition to any collection celebrating wildlife photography or scientific exploration.
