Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
LM of Demodex folliculorum
Light micrograph in interference contrast illumination of the Follicle Mite (Demodex folliculorum). Follicle Mites are human ectoparasites, aggregating around hair follicles and in the orifices. Although infestation rates may reach 100%, the role of these mites in the cause of any definite pathology is still disputed. They are most commonly found on the nose and eyebrows. In the main, D.folliculorum simply harvests cells from its habitat. Magnification x400 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Demodex folliculorum, commonly known as Follicle Mites. In this light micrograph captured in interference contrast illumination, we get a glimpse into the life of these human ectoparasites. These tiny creatures can be found aggregating around hair follicles and orifices, with their preferred habitats being the nose and eyebrows. Despite infestation rates potentially reaching 100%, there is ongoing debate about the role these mites play in causing definite pathology. While some argue that they may contribute to certain skin conditions or diseases, others believe that D. folliculorum simply harvests cells from its environment without significant harm. At a magnification of x400 on a 35mm size scale, this image reveals the remarkable details of these arachnida-like creatures. Their presence reminds us of the diverse wildlife that coexists within our own bodies. This photograph serves as a reminder of how even seemingly insignificant organisms can have an impact on our lives. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning print not only appeals to those interested in nature and zoology but also sparks curiosity about parasites and invertebrates. It invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within microscopic worlds while raising questions about our understanding of symbiotic relationships between humans and other species.
