Crab feeding structures, SEM
Crab filter-feeding structures. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of filtering structures (setae) that are part of the feeding structures of a crab (order Decapoda). These setae (brush- like structures) are part of the crabs mouthparts (maxillipeds). They are used to filter food particles from the water. Crabs are crustaceans, found in both saltwater and freshwater habitats worldwide

Crab Crustacean False Colour Filter Filter Feeder Filters Seta Setae False Coloured
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 showcases the intricate feeding structures of a crab, as seen through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the brush-like setae that form part of the crab's mouthparts, known as maxillipeds. These remarkable filtering structures play a crucial role in the crab's diet by allowing it to extract food particles from its surrounding water environment. Crabs, belonging to the order Decapoda, are fascinating crustaceans found in both saltwater and freshwater habitats across the globe. This image provides us with an up-close look at their unique biological adaptations for survival. The false-colored SEM highlights every detail of these filter-feeding setae, emphasizing their importance in capturing sustenance from their surroundings. As filter feeders, crabs rely on these specialized structures to sift through water and separate edible particles from debris or waste. This process enables them to obtain vital nutrients while maintaining optimal health within their ecosystem. By studying such intricate features using advanced microscopy techniques like SEM, scientists gain valuable insights into marine biology and further our understanding of these incredible creatures. The Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders with this mesmerizing image that beautifully combines artistry and scientific exploration. It serves as a reminder of the diverse fauna inhabiting our planet and encourages us to appreciate the hidden marvels present even within seemingly ordinary organisms like crabs.
