Bat fly, SEM
Bat fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a bat fly (family Streblidae). These flies are ectoparasites (external parasites) of bats. They have large feet that are adapted for clinging on to the bats fur. They are only found in the tropics and sub-tropics

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a bat fly, showcasing its vibrant colors and unique features. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this image reveals the fascinating world of these ectoparasites that thrive on bats in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The bat fly belongs to the family Streblidae and is an external parasite that clings onto the fur of bats using its large feet specially adapted for this purpose. This close-up view allows us to appreciate their hairy bodies, which enable them to navigate through their host's dense fur with ease. As we delve into the realm of nature and wildlife, it is crucial to acknowledge the diversity found within our ecosystems. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of these winged creatures but also sheds light on their vital role in maintaining ecological balance. With every strand of hair meticulously captured by this SEM image, we are reminded of how interconnected all living beings are. The study of zoology and biology unravels countless wonders like these bat flies, reminding us that even seemingly insignificant organisms have a significant impact on our planet's delicate web of life. This stunning print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder to cherish and protect Earth's biodiversity while marveling at its awe-inspiring intricacies.
