Coloured SEM of head of Aedes punctor mosquito
Head of a mosquito. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of the head of a female yellow fever mosquito, Aedes punctor. Like other insects, the mosquito has compound eyes, consisting of many facets. Also seen here is the ribbon-like labrum, a modified stylet which forms the food channel. The labrum is seen above its protective sheath. The sheath is used to puncture the skin of the mosquitos host to allow it to ingest blood. Many species of mosquito are vectors of blood-borne diseases. Magnification x40 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the head of a female yellow fever mosquito, Aedes punctor. Through the use of scanning electron microscopy and vibrant coloring, this image reveals the fascinating features that make up this tiny insect's head. The compound eyes of the mosquito are prominently displayed, composed of numerous facets that enable it to detect movement and light with remarkable precision. These compound eyes provide a unique perspective on how mosquitoes perceive their surroundings. In addition to its eyes, we can also observe the ribbon-like labrum in this image. The labrum is a modified stylet that serves as a food channel for the mosquito. Positioned above its protective sheath, which is used to puncture the skin of its host, this labrum allows the mosquito to feed on blood. It is important to note that many species of mosquitoes act as vectors for blood-borne diseases. This particular species has been associated with transmitting yellow fever among other illnesses. Understanding their anatomy and behavior through images like these plays a crucial role in combating these diseases. With a magnification factor of x40 at 6x4.5cm size, this print from Science Photo Library offers an awe-inspiring glimpse into the microscopic world within our natural environment – reminding us once again about nature's incredible complexity and beauty.
