Spider silk spinners, SEM
Spider silk spinners. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the spinnerets of a house spider (Tegenaria domestica). This group of five structures is used to extrude and shape silk, which the spider uses to build a tunnel-shaped home. The house spider inhabits buildings throughout Europe and Britain, and feeds on flies, ants and other small insects. Magnification: x54 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of spider silk spinners. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the spinnerets belonging to a house spider, scientifically known as Tegenaria domestica. These five structures play a crucial role in extruding and shaping silk, which the spider skillfully employs to construct its tunnel-shaped dwelling. The house spider is commonly found inhabiting buildings across Europe and Britain, where it thrives on a diet consisting mainly of flies, ants, and other small insects. This remarkable image offers us an insight into the world of these domestic arachnids. With a magnification level of x54 at 6x7cm size, every minute detail is brought into focus through the power of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The vibrant colors enhance our understanding of the anatomical features present in these spinners while simultaneously highlighting their secretory function. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph captured by Science Photo Library, we cannot help but marvel at nature's ingenuity. It serves as a reminder that even within our own homes lie hidden wonders waiting to be discovered - if only we take the time to observe them closely.
