Framed Prints From Science Photo Library
Framed Print of Butterfly wing, SEM
Butterfly wing. Image 2 of 6. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a wing from an unidentified butterfly (order Lepidoptera, meaning scale-wing in Greek). A butterfly wing is covered in many tiny scales that are modified hairs (setae). These are made of chitin, a common substance in insect exoskeletons. The iridescence of the colours of a butterflys wings is produced by the diffraction of light by the microscopic structure of these scales. Magnification: x50 at 6x7cm size. For a sequence that magnifies the wing of a butterfly down to the light-diffracting scale structures, see images Z355/692-697. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © SUSUMU NISHINAGA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
