EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a moth wing, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an array of colorful scales that adorn the wing's surface, providing a mesmerizing display of nature's artistry. Belonging to the order Lepidoptera, meaning "scale-wing" in Greek, moths are known for their delicate and ethereal wings. Each scale on the wing is actually a modified hair called setae, composed of chitin - a common substance found in insect exoskeletons. These tiny scales not only add vibrancy to the moth's appearance but also serve various functions such as insulation and protection. The photograph offers us an up-close glimpse into this hidden world of miniature wonders. With its magnification at x29 and printed at 6x7cm size, it allows us to appreciate every minute detail with awe-inspiring clarity. In studying this image, we gain insight into the fascinating realm of zoology and entomology. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary creatures like moths lie extraordinary marvels waiting to be discovered. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and scientific documentation—an embodiment of how science can illuminate our understanding of the natural world. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this remarkable piece invites viewers to delve deeper into nature's secrets while appreciating its sheer splendor.
