Dust mite. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a dust mite Dermatophagoides sp
Dust mite. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a dust mite Dermatophagoides sp. in a sample of household dust. It is crawling among hair, fibres and other dust debris. This mite is a cause of dermatitis (skin inflammation) and is implicated as a cause of asthma. Every house has millions of tiny dust mites, living in carpets and furniture and feeding on the flakes of skin shed by their human landlords. The average double bed contains about two million dust mites of various species. The body of the mite is made up of three regions: gnathosoma (head, at centre left); propo- dosma (with first two pairs of legs); hysterosoma (abdomen). Magnification: x150 at 6x7cm size. x625 at 8x12

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a dust mite, captured through a coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM). In this image, we witness the minuscule creature navigating its way among a sea of hair, fibres, and other debris found in household dust. However, behind its seemingly harmless appearance lies an alarming truth - this tiny mite is not only responsible for dermatitis but also implicated as a cause of asthma. It's astonishing to realize that every home harbors millions of these microscopic creatures. They thrive within carpets and furniture while feasting on the flakes of skin shed by their human landlords. Astonishingly enough, an average double bed can house up to two million dust mites from various species. Examining the body structure of this particular mite reveals three distinct regions: gnathosoma (head), propodosma (with first two pairs of legs), and hysterosoma (abdomen). The photograph has been magnified 150 times at 6x7cm size or an impressive 625 times at 8x12 dimensions. As we delve into the hidden world within our homes, it becomes evident how these tiny arachnids play a significant role in causing allergies such as sneezing and triggering skin inflammation. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that even in our everyday surroundings lie extraordinary wonders waiting to be discovered.
