Head louse, SEM
Head louse. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) clinging to a human hair. Head lice measure 2-3 millimetres in length. They live in the hair on the head and suck blood from the scalp, causing intense itching. The itching provokes scratching, which can lead to scalp inflammation or dermatitis. Treatment is with medicated shampoo. Magnification: x75 when printed 10 centimetres wide. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

This print showcases the intricate details of a head louse, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a head louse clinging to a human hair, highlighting its minuscule size of 2-3 millimetres in length. Head lice are notorious for residing in the hair on our heads and feeding on our blood, which triggers intense itching. Unfortunately, this relentless itch often leads to scratching that can result in scalp inflammation or dermatitis. The photograph serves as an educational tool, shedding light on the biology and behavior of these pesky parasites. It emphasizes their role as ecto parasites that thrive by sucking blood from the scalp. To combat infestations, medicated shampoos are commonly used as treatment. With a magnification ratio of x75 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within nature's smallest creatures. Its false-colored presentation adds an artistic touch while still maintaining scientific accuracy. Through this remarkable snapshot provided by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the world of head lice - an insect species that has coexisted with humans throughout history but continues to pose challenges in terms of infection control and medical intervention.
