This photo print, titled "Fly, SEM C015 / 9945" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of a fly. Captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured image showcases the remarkable details of this tiny creature's anatomy. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the fly's head, which is adorned with two large compound eyes in striking red hues. Positioned below these eyes are its mouthparts, while its sensory structures – the antennae – can be observed between them. The entire body of the fly is covered in sensory hairs that serve various purposes for this winged insect. Additionally, parts of its delicate wings are visible in this photograph against a black background, adding to its aesthetic appeal. This stunning visual representation allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the complexity found within nature's smallest creatures. Through this print by Susumu Nishinaga from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into entomology and zoology as we explore concepts such as biology and invertebrate studies. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant organisms play vital roles within our ecosystem.
