SEM of human head louse
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, clinging to a human hair. The head louse inhabits the hair of the head, glueing its eggs (called nits) to the shafts of individual hairs. The head louse is closely related to the body louse Pediculus humanus corporis; both subspecies are capable of interbreeding. Their main difference is in habitat, with body lice living in clothing, moving on to the skin to feed. Magnification: x22 at 6x4.5cm size. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © DR JEREMY BURGESS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a human head louse, captured through a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the minuscule creature clinging to a single strand of human hair, highlighting its remarkable ability to adapt and survive within its chosen habitat. The head louse, scientifically known as Pediculus humanus capitis, is notorious for inhabiting the hair on our heads and attaching its eggs, commonly referred to as nits, onto individual hair shafts. This close relative of the body louse shares similarities in appearance but differs in their preferred dwelling place. While body lice reside in clothing and only move onto the skin for nourishment, head lice remain firmly rooted in our locks. At an impressive magnification level of x22 at 6x4.5cm size, this SEM image offers viewers an up-close encounter with this tiny yet fascinating insect. Its delicate features are enhanced by false colours that bring out every minute detail for further examination. This photograph not only appeals to nature enthusiasts but also holds significant value for those interested in zoology and entomology studies. It serves as a reminder of the diverse range of creatures that coexist alongside humans while providing valuable insights into their behavior and adaptations.
