Gecko foot, SEM
Gecko foot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the underside of a geckos foot (Tarentola mauritanica). The foot is covered with ridges and microscopic hairs, which enables the gecko to cling to very smooth surfaces such as windows and ceilings. Geckos are slender nocturnal lizards. They feed on insects and are found in a wide range of habitats, from deserts to rainforests. Magnification: x30 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a gecko's foot. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the underside of a Tarentola mauritanica's foot. The foot is adorned with an array of ridges and microscopic hairs, which serve as its secret weapon for gripping onto even the smoothest surfaces like windows and ceilings. Geckos, being slender nocturnal lizards, have evolved these remarkable adaptations to aid in their locomotion and survival. They rely on their insectivorous diet, feeding on insects that they skillfully capture using their specialized feet. Found in diverse habitats ranging from deserts to rainforests, geckos exhibit incredible versatility. This particular image magnifies the foot by 30 times at a size of 6x7cm, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail. The photograph not only highlights the fascinating anatomy and biomechanics behind a gecko's grip but also offers insight into the world of wildlife photography. It reminds us that nature holds countless wonders waiting to be explored through scientific exploration and observation. This mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library serves as both an educational tool for zoology enthusiasts and an artistic representation celebrating the marvels found within our natural world.
