Squid suckers, SEM
Squid suckers. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of suckers on the tentacles of a common squid (Loligo forbesi). The suckers are cup-like structures that are used to grasp prey. This squid feeds mainly on fish, although it also takes crustaceans and other cephalopods. It catches its prey by firing out its tentacles at great speed, and holding it with these suckers until it is brought to the mouth. Magnification: x28 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of squid suckers, as captured by a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the cup-like structures that adorn the tentacles of a common squid species known as Loligo forbesi. These remarkable suckers serve as powerful weapons in the squid's predatory arsenal, enabling it to firmly grasp its prey. With fish being its primary source of nourishment, this formidable cephalopod also indulges in crustaceans and other fellow cephalopods. Its hunting technique involves propelling its tentacles with astonishing speed towards unsuspecting victims, relying on these suction cups to secure a firm hold until it can be brought to the mouth for consumption. At a magnification level of x28 and printed at 6x7cm size, this SEM photograph allows us to marvel at nature's ingenuity up close. The veined texture and vibrant colors displayed within each sucker highlight both the elegance and efficiency found in these invertebrate creatures. Immerse yourself in the world of wildlife and zoology with this mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small organisms possess extraordinary adaptations that enable them to thrive and survive in their respective ecosystems.
