SEM of the antenna of white butterfly
Butterfly antenna. Scanning electron micrograph of the surface of the antenna of the large white butterfly, Pieris brassicae. Antennae are the paired mobile sense organs found on the butterflys head. The surface is covered with sensory bristles (hair-like) that respond to various stimuli. Some detect aromatic molecules, some detect air movement and others sound. They all work together to monitor the butterflys environment. At upper right and lower left of the frame are scales (white, feather-like). These are similar to wing scales but may have functions additional to protection and coloration on the antenna. Magnification x240 at 5x7cm size. Magnification: x530 at 6x4.5 inch size

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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a white butterfly's antenna, captured through a scanning electron microscope. The large white butterfly, scientifically known as Pieris brassicae, possesses these antennae as its mobile sense organs. The surface of the antenna is adorned with sensory bristles that resemble delicate hair-like structures. Each bristle plays a crucial role in detecting various stimuli within the butterfly's environment. These sensory bristles have distinct functions; some are responsible for detecting aromatic molecules, others respond to air movements, and some even pick up on sound vibrations. Working together harmoniously, they form an essential monitoring system for the butterfly's surroundings. Within this mesmerizing image, you can also spot scales resembling feathers at both the upper right and lower left corners. These scales are similar to those found on wings but serve additional purposes beyond protection and coloration when located on the antenna. With a magnification level of x240 at 5x7cm size or x530 at 6x4.5 inch size, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's microscopic wonders in great detail. It serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity present in even the tiniest creatures that inhabit our world – reminding us of how interconnected all living beings truly are.
