Mole nose, SEM
Mole nose. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the snout (pink) of a mole, showing specialised bulbous papillae (projections) known as Eimers organs. Eimers organs are present in most moles and are made up of epidermal (upper skin layer) cells that are infiltrated by many nerve fibres. These fibres end as a swelling just before the very outer layer of the epidermis, making the snout extremely sensitive to touch. Most moles are virtually blind, so they rely on their specialised ability to sense movement in order to survive

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a mole's nose. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the snout, which appears in a delicate shade of pink. What makes this image truly fascinating is the presence of specialized bulbous papillae known as Eimers organs. Eimers organs, found in most moles, consist of epidermal cells that have been infiltrated by numerous nerve fibers. These fibers culminate in swellings just before reaching the outermost layer of the skin, rendering the mole's snout exquisitely sensitive to touch. This heightened tactile ability compensates for their limited vision and enables them to survive by relying on their unique capacity to sense movement. The astonishing detail captured in this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's ingenuity at its finest. The hairy surface texture and intricate arrangement of papillae create an awe-inspiring sight that highlights the complexity and adaptability present within biological systems. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, it becomes evident that there is so much more beneath the surface than meets the eye. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary creatures possess extraordinary attributes worthy of exploration and admiration.
