Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Squirrel monkey tongue, SEM
Squirrel monkey tongue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sp.) tongue. The tongue is covered in many backward facing projections called filiform papillae, which sense pressure. They have a scaly appearance because they are constantly shedding their top layer of skin. Magnification: x700 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a squirrel monkey's tongue. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the fascinating surface of this mammal's tongue, which is covered in numerous filiform papillae. These backward-facing projections play a crucial role in sensing pressure and are responsible for the monkey's heightened tactile abilities. The scaly appearance of the tongue is due to its constant shedding of skin cells, adding an element of uniqueness to this remarkable organ. When printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image magnifies the intricacies by 700 times, allowing us to appreciate nature's incredible design up close. As we delve into zoology and biology through this photograph, we gain insight into how animals adapt and evolve to survive in their environments. The sensory capabilities exhibited by these tiny papillae highlight the importance of touch as a vital sense for squirrel monkeys. Science Photo Library has once again captured a mesmerizing moment from the animal kingdom with their expertise in scanning electron microscopy. This stunning visual representation not only serves as an educational tool but also reminds us of the beauty that lies within even the smallest creatures on our planet.
