Ant head, SEM C018 / 0548
Ant head, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The antennae (sensory structures) are the stalk-like structures (blue) attached to the head above the mouthparts (bottom) and between the compound eyes (blue) on the sides of the head. This is a common red ant (Myrmica rubra). Magnification: x70 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an ant's head, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating world of nature and its diverse fauna. The main focus is on the ant's sensory structures, known as antennae, which are depicted as stalk-like formations in a striking shade of blue. These vital organs play a crucial role in helping ants navigate their surroundings and communicate with one another. Positioned above the mouthparts at the bottom and between the compound eyes on either side, these antennae serve as remarkable tools for this common red ant species (Myrmica rubra). With a magnification level of x70 when printed at 10 centimeters across, every minute detail becomes visible to our curious eyes. Through this image, we gain insight into the complex biology and anatomy of these tiny creatures. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly insignificant organisms lies an astonishing world waiting to be explored. Louise Hughes from Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this moment using advanced technology. This photograph is not only visually stunning but also provides valuable information for researchers studying entomology and animal anatomy.
