EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an octopus's suckers. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a close-up view of these remarkable structures found on one of the octopus's arms. With a black background, the image highlights the vibrant hues and detailed patterns present in nature. Octopuses employ their suckers for various purposes, as depicted in this stunning photograph. These suction cups play a crucial role in capturing prey during hunting expeditions, allowing them to firmly grasp onto their victims. Additionally, they serve as tools for manipulating objects like rocks when constructing dens. What makes these suckers even more fascinating is that they possess chemoreceptors, enabling an octopus to taste whatever it touches. This unique ability provides valuable information about potential food sources or environmental cues. The magnified image captured by SUSUMU NISHINAGA using a scanning electron microscope offers us a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of marine creatures. It showcases not only the biological intricacies but also emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating our natural surroundings. With its curled limb and delicate appendages adorned with countless suction cups, this photograph encapsulates both the wonder and complexity found within invertebrate biology. It serves as a reminder of how diverse and awe-inspiring our planet's wildlife truly is.
