Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Caterpillar skin, light micrograph
Caterpillar skin, light micrograph. This section of part of the skin shows two half segments. The skin is covered in small hairs or setae (black), and brown structures called tubercles and verrucae. Parts of the respiratory system can be seen through the skin, with two breathing pores or spiracles (small ovals, across centre) which lead to branching tubes supported by rings, the tracheae. Magnification: x14 when printed at 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of caterpillar skin under a light microscope. The image reveals two half segments of the skin, adorned with an array of fascinating features. The surface is covered in small hairs or setae, depicted as striking black structures, which add texture and character to the overall composition. Additionally, brown tubercles and verrucae can be observed scattered across the skin, providing further visual interest. What makes this image truly remarkable is its ability to offer a glimpse into the inner workings of the caterpillar's respiratory system. Through the translucent skin, we can discern two breathing pores or spiracles located at the center of this section. These small ovals serve as entry points for air and lead to branching tubes supported by rings known as tracheae. With a magnification level of x14 when printed at 10 centimeters high, every minute detail becomes apparent in this photograph. It serves as a testament to both nature's complexity and our ever-advancing understanding of it within fields such as zoology, entomology, biology, and anatomy. This mesmerizing snapshot invites us into a world often unseen by human eyes—a realm where even something as seemingly ordinary as caterpillar skin holds secrets waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
