Springtail body surface, SEM
Springtail body surface. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the body surface of a springtail insect (order Collembola). The hairs (setae) and scales are typical of this group. The name " springtail" refers to the specialised jumping appendage (furcula) at the end of the abdomen (not seen). This allows the springtail to leap relatively long distances. Springtails have remained anatomically unchanged for millions of years, and are considered living fossils. Springtails live mainly in leaf litter, and feed on decaying matter. Magnification: x1100 at 6x7cm size. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate body surface of a springtail insect, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable details of this ancient creature, belonging to the order Collembola. The setae (hairs) and scales adorning its body are characteristic features of this group. Although not visible in the photograph, it is worth noting that springtails possess a specialized jumping appendage called furcula at the end of their abdomen, enabling them to leap impressive distances. Springtails have remained unchanged anatomically for millions of years, earning them the title of living fossils. They predominantly inhabit leaf litter environments and sustain themselves by feeding on decaying matter. This photo offers us a glimpse into their world—an outer carapace adorned with scales and hairs that serve various purposes in their survival. With an astonishing magnification level of x1100 at 6x7cm size, this SEM image truly brings out the minute intricacies present on the surface of these wingless creatures. It serves as a testament to nature's diversity and resilience while highlighting one small yet fascinating aspect within our vast ecosystem.
