Coloured SEM of a tapeworm, Taenia sp
Tapeworm. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a parasitic tapeworm (Taenia sp.). The scolex (head, at right) has suckers (upper right) and a crown of hooklets (top right) that the worm uses to attach itself to the inside of the intestines of its specific host. At the end of the scolex is a narrow neck from which body segments (proglottids) are budded off. Tapeworms have no specialised digestive system but feed on the half- digested food in the intestines by direct absorption through their entire skin surface. Tapeworms can cause diarrhoea, weight loss and abdominal discomfort. Magnification: x15 at 5x7cm size. x37.5 at 18x12.5cm.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a tapeworm, belonging to the Taenia species. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the parasitic nature of this organism in stunning clarity. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the scolex or head of the tapeworm, positioned on the right side of the image. This remarkable structure exhibits suckers and a crown of hooklets that enable it to firmly attach itself within its host's intestines. The narrow neck extending from the scolex gives rise to numerous body segments known as proglottids. These segments are continually budded off, contributing to the elongated form characteristic of tapeworms. Fascinatingly, these creatures lack a specialized digestive system and instead rely on direct absorption through their entire skin surface for sustenance. While this mesmerizing photograph highlights the awe-inspiring complexity of these organisms, it also serves as a reminder of their potential harm. Tapeworm infections can lead to various symptoms such as diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal discomfort in their hosts. With magnification levels reaching x15 at 5x7cm size and x37.5 at 18x12.5cm dimensions, this SEM image offers an up-close encounter with nature's intricacies within our own bodies - an incredible testament to both scientific discovery and artistic representation captured by Science Photo Library.
