Papillae on the tongue of a bat
Papillae on the tongue of a pipistrelle bat. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tongue of a pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus), showing a dense arrangement of filiform (scale-like) papillae. Papillae are small projections on the tongue. Some house taste buds, but filiform papillae are purely mechanical, giving the tongue its rough surface. Filiform papillae are found on the upper, front surface of the tongue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate papillae on the tongue of a pipistrelle bat, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of these nocturnal creatures. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a close-up view of the bat's tongue, revealing a dense arrangement of filiform papillae that give it its characteristic rough surface. Papillae are small projections found on the tongues of many animals, serving various functions. While some house taste buds to aid in food detection and selection, filiform papillae primarily serve as mechanical structures in bats. These cone-shaped papillae can be seen covering the upper front surface of the tongue. The vibrant colors used in this SEM highlight the complexity and beauty hidden within nature's design. The detailed structure of each individual papilla is brought to life through this high-resolution image captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This cutting-edge technology allows us to explore biological features at an incredibly microscopic level. As we delve into zoology and physiology, images like these remind us of how diverse and awe-inspiring our natural world truly is. Through scientific exploration and research, we continue to unravel mysteries surrounding different species' adaptations and survival strategies. This photograph from Science Photo Library serves as both an educational tool for biology enthusiasts and an artistic representation capturing nature's wonders.
