Head louse, SEM
Head louse. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) clinging to a human hair. Head lice measure 2-3 millimetres in length. They live in the hair on the head and suck blood from the scalp, causing intense itching. The itching provokes scratching, which can lead to scalp inflammation or dermatitis. Treatment is with medicated shampoo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a head louse, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the minuscule creature clinging to a human hair, providing an up-close look at its parasitic nature. Measuring only 2-3 millimetres in length, these tiny insects reside in the hair on our heads and survive by feeding on blood from the scalp. Unfortunately, their presence often triggers intense itching, leading to relentless scratching that can result in scalp inflammation or dermatitis. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of proper treatment for head lice infestations. Medicated shampoos are commonly used to combat these pests and alleviate discomfort caused by their bites. Through this visual representation, we gain insight into the biology and behavior of this ectoparasite. As we delve into this microscopic world within our own bodies, it becomes evident how interconnected nature truly is. This image not only highlights the fascinating realm of zoology but also sheds light on medical aspects such as infection control and dermatological conditions associated with head lice infestation. By exploring such scientific marvels through photography like this one from Science Photo Library, we deepen our understanding of both wildlife and human health alike.
