EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of silverfish scales, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The silverfish, scientifically known as Lepisma saccharina, is an ancient insect that has remained virtually unchanged for millions of years, earning its title as a living fossil. Its name aptly describes its appearance, as it is adorned with countless tiny and shiny scales. Despite their fascinating characteristics, silverfish can be considered common household pests due to their diet preferences. These creatures feed on starches found in various sources such as food items, books, and clothing. Their ability to adapt and survive in human habitats makes them an intriguing subject for zoological studies. The photograph's magnification at x115 allows us to appreciate the minute details of these scales when printed at 10 centimetres wide. Through this image produced by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we gain insight into the surface structure of these primitive insects. The false-coloured presentation adds vibrancy to the composition while highlighting different aspects of their biology. Science Photo Library brings forth this remarkable visual representation from nature's realm - a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation. This print serves as a reminder of the diverse wonders found within our world's fauna and encourages further exploration into the captivating field of zoology.
