Tick mouthparts, SEM
Tick mouthparts, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The mouthparts of a tick consist of three visible components. The two outer jointed parts are highly mobile palps. Between the palps, at centre, is a rod-shaped structure, the hypostome. The palps do not enter the skin of the host while the tick is feeding, while the hypostome is inserted into the hosts skin. The backward-pointing projections prevent easy removal of the tick. Magnification: x180 when printed at 10 centimetres across
