Underside of a geckos toe
Underside of a geckos toe. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing the numerous hairs which cover the underside of a geckos feet. These are essential to enable the gecko to cling to smooth surfaces. The hairs take advantage of Van Der Waals forces, weak intermolecular forces, to enable the gecko to stick to smooth surfaces. Geckos are nocturnal lizards, found in a wide range of habitats. They feed on insects

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate underside of a gecko's toe, revealing a world of astonishing detail. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we can observe the multitude of hairs that densely cover the gecko's feet. These tiny hairs play a crucial role in allowing the gecko to effortlessly cling onto smooth surfaces. By harnessing Van Der Waals forces, which are weak intermolecular forces, these remarkable creatures have evolved an extraordinary ability to stick to even the slickest of surfaces. Geckos, being nocturnal lizards found across various habitats, rely on their specialized toes for survival. They possess an uncanny talent for hunting insects under the cloak of darkness. The false-colored image highlights not only their biological marvel but also offers insight into their zoological and reptilian characteristics. The vibrant orange hue adds a touch of vibrancy to this scientific masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Through this lens, we gain access to an otherwise hidden realm within nature – one where biology and physics intertwine seamlessly. Let this mesmerizing photograph serve as a reminder that there is still so much left undiscovered in our natural world; it beckons us to explore further and appreciate the wonders that lie beneath our fingertips.
