This print titled "Fly, SEM C015 / 8082" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of a fly. Captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured image showcases the astonishing details of an insect from the order Diptera. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the fly's head, which is dominated by two large compound eyes that appear in striking shades of red. Positioned below these eyes are its mouthparts, while sensory structures known as antennae can be observed between them. The entire body of the fly is covered with sensory hairs, providing it with crucial information about its surroundings. In addition to highlighting these remarkable features, parts of the wings are also visible in this photograph. Against a black background, they showcase their delicate and intricate structure that enables flight for this winged creature. This print not only serves as a testament to nature's incredible diversity but also provides valuable insights into zoology and entomology. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity found even in seemingly small creatures like flies. Photographer Susumu Nishinaga skillfully captures every minute detail using advanced imaging technology. Through his lens and expertise, we gain access to an unseen world where science meets artistry – revealing wonders that often go unnoticed by our naked eye.
