Metal Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Brochosomes, SEM
Brochosomes, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Brochosomes are intricately structured microscopic granules secreted by leafhoppers. After each molt, leafhoppers release droplets of the brochosome-containing fluid through the anus and actively spread them over the newly formed integument. The resulting coating makes the integument highly repellent to water (superhydrophobic) and to the leafhoppers own liquid excreta. Magnification: x7000 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of brochosomes, microscopic granules secreted by leafhoppers. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of these tiny structures that play a crucial role in the leafhopper's survival. After each molt, leafhoppers release droplets of fluid containing brochosomes through their anus and actively spread them over their newly formed integument. The resulting coating transforms the surface into a superhydrophobic shield, repelling water with remarkable efficiency. Additionally, this unique layer also serves as a barrier against the leafhopper's own liquid excreta. The level of detail captured in this image is truly awe-inspiring. With a magnification of x7000 when printed 10cm wide, every minute feature becomes apparent to our eyes. Each brochosome appears like an exquisite gemstone adorning the body of the leafhopper. Photographer Steve Gschmeissner has masterfully captured both scientific precision and artistic flair in this composition. The vibrant colors applied to enhance visibility further accentuate the mesmerizing patterns found within nature's tiniest creations. Whether you are an admirer of natural wonders or simply fascinated by microscopic worlds, this print offers an extraordinary glimpse into the hidden realm of brochosomes and their vital role in protecting these fascinating insects from external elements.
