Housefly foot, SEM
Housefly foot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the foot of a housefly (Musca domestica). The two claws are used to grip rough surfaces. The hairy adhesive pads, or pulvilli (beneath the claws), allow the fly to cling to smooth surfaces. Magnification: x600 when printed 10 centimetres high

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a housefly's foot, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating world of nature and its diverse animal species. In this image, we can observe the foot of a Musca domestica, commonly known as a housefly. The two prominent claws on display are essential for gripping rough surfaces, enabling these nimble creatures to navigate their surroundings with ease. However, it is the hairy adhesive pads or pulvilli beneath the claws that truly captivate our attention. These specialized structures allow the fly to cling effortlessly onto smooth surfaces, defying gravity in their quest for sustenance or shelter. With an impressive magnification level of x600 when printed at 10 centimeters high, this photograph provides us with an up-close look at the microscopic wonders hidden within our natural world. It serves as a testament to both the complexity and beauty found in even seemingly mundane insects like flies. Appreciating such detailed anatomical features not only deepens our understanding of biology but also highlights how evolution has equipped each creature with unique adaptations suited to its environment. This image from Science Photo Library invites us into the realm of entomology and biomechanics while reminding us of nature's endless marvels waiting to be discovered.
