This print showcases the intricate beauty of a jumping spider's eye, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the mesmerizing details of the spider's simple eye, known as ocelli, which are depicted in vibrant orange hues. Belonging to the Salticidae family, this small arachnid possesses a total of eight eyes - four larger ones on its face and four smaller ones atop its head.
