Greetings Card : Wasp with microchip, SEM
Cards from Science Photo Library
Wasp with microchip, SEM
Wasp with microchip. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a flying wasp (order Hymenoptera) holding a tiny semiconductor integrated circuit (microchip) in its mandibles. As manufacturing techniques improve, not only do the electronic components on chips shrink, but the chips themselves can be made smaller. Chips as small as 0.1 millimetres across are now in production. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate relationship between nature and technology. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a remarkable sight: a flying wasp from the order Hymenoptera delicately grasping a tiny semiconductor integrated circuit, also known as a microchip, in its mandibles. As manufacturing techniques continue to advance, not only are the electronic components on chips shrinking, but the chips themselves can now be made smaller than ever before. With dimensions as minuscule as 0.1 millimetres across, these chips are already being produced on a large scale. The magnification of this image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this fascinating glimpse into the world of miniaturisation and microelectronics. The juxtaposition of an insect from the wild with cutting-edge computer technology serves as a reminder that innovation can be found even in unexpected places. This photograph highlights both the beauty and complexity present in our natural surroundings while showcasing humanity's ability to harness nature's wonders for technological advancements. It is through such interdisciplinary connections that we continue to push boundaries and explore new frontiers in science and engineering.
