Insect microscopy, 19th century
Insect microscopy. 19th century artwork showing microscopic details of insects, as seen under a microscope. An aphid is seen at top centre, with a tsetse fly proboscis immediately below it. Below and left of the proboscis is a feathery type of antennae, as often seen on moths. Claws, as seen on an insects foot, are seen below the feathery antenna and at right of the proboscis. Other items seen include insect larvae and eggs. Artwork taken from the 1883 edition of Jabez Hoggs book The Microscope: its History, Construction and Application

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of insect microscopy. The artwork showcases meticulous details of various insects as observed under a microscope. At the top center, an aphid steals the spotlight with its delicate form and mesmerizing colors. Just below it, we find the proboscis of a tsetse fly, exquisitely capturing its unique structure. To the left of the proboscis lies an enchanting set of feathery antennae resembling those often seen on moths, adding another layer of fascination to this composition. As our eyes wander further downwards, we encounter claws that belong to an insect's foot; their sharpness and precision are truly remarkable. The artwork also unveils other intriguing elements such as insect larvae and eggs scattered throughout. Each tiny detail is meticulously depicted in vibrant hues, bringing these microscopic creatures to life before our very eyes. Taken from Jabez Hogg's renowned book "The Microscope: its History, Construction and Application" published in 1883, this illustration serves as both a scientific reference and a work of art. It transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us of nature's boundless wonders. Through this photograph print from Science Photo Library, we delve into entomology's rich history while appreciating the beauty hidden within every minuscule aspect captured by early microscopes.
