Starfish, SEM
Starfish. Scanning electron micrograph of the underside of a starfish (class Asteroidea), showing the mouth (centre) and the ambulacral grooves running down the centre of each of the five arms. Each arm also has hundreds of podia, minute foot-like suckers, within the groove that allow the starfish to move on the seabed in any direction. At the end of each arm is a microscopic eye (not seen), which enables the starfish to see its prey. Starfish can choose to be predators, plant-eaters or scavengers, depending on their environment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a starfish, captured through a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals the mesmerizing underside of this remarkable creature from the class Asteroidea. At the center lies its mouth, surrounded by ambulacral grooves that run down each of its five arms. Within these grooves are hundreds of podia, tiny foot-like suckers that enable the starfish to move effortlessly in any direction across the seabed. The starfish's arms also house microscopic eyes, unseen in this image but crucial for spotting prey. This versatile marine species can adapt its feeding habits based on its environment, choosing to be predators, plant-eaters or scavengers as needed. In vibrant colors and incredible detail, this photograph highlights not only the beauty but also the complexity of nature's creations. It offers us a glimpse into the world of these fascinating echinoderms – their biology and behavior carefully preserved within this single frame. Perfect for enthusiasts of wildlife and zoology alike, this print is an excellent addition to any collection focused on marine life or biological studies.
