EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of mites, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mites, belonging to the subclass Acarina, are an incredibly diverse group of invertebrates. Renowned as both plant and animal parasites, these tiny creatures have also gained notoriety for triggering allergies in humans such as hay fever, asthma, and eczema. The image reveals the underbelly of a single mite with astonishing detail. Its hairy exoskeleton is clearly visible, highlighting its parasitic nature. The false colours applied to this SEM enhance our understanding of its biological structure. Meticulously taken by Science Photo Library's skilled photographers, this snapshot allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within even the tiniest organisms. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more to explore in our natural world beyond what meets the naked eye. Whether you're fascinated by zoology or simply intrigued by wildlife photography, this print offers a glimpse into an often overlooked realm – one where pests like mites play crucial roles in ecosystems while simultaneously posing health risks to humans. Let it spark your curiosity about these remarkable arachnids and their place within our delicate ecological balance.
