Hairs on a geckos toe
Hairs on a geckos toe. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing the numerous hairs which cover the underside of a geckos feet. These are essential to enable the gecko to cling to smooth surfaces. The hairs take advantage of Van Der Waals forces, weak intermolecular forces, to enable the gecko to stick to smooth surfaces. Geckos are nocturnal lizards, found in a wide range of habitats. They feed on insects

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a gecko's toe, specifically highlighting the hairs that cover its underside. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we can observe the numerous hairs that play a crucial role in enabling these remarkable creatures to cling effortlessly to smooth surfaces. The gecko's ability to adhere to various objects is made possible by taking advantage of Van Der Waals forces, which are weak intermolecular forces. Geckos, being nocturnal lizards found in diverse habitats, rely on their unique attachment mechanism for survival. These fascinating reptiles feed primarily on insects and have evolved over time with specialized features like these multiple hairs on their toes. Through this SEM image, we gain insight into the biological marvels of nature. The false-colored representation adds an artistic touch while still maintaining scientific accuracy. By utilizing a scanning electron microscope (SEM), scientists were able to capture this stunning image at such a microscopic level, revealing the intricate beauty hidden within nature. This mesmerizing photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to both the wonders of zoology and biology while showcasing the delicate yet powerful mechanisms employed by animals in their everyday lives.
