Octopus suckers, SEM C016 / 9671
Octopus suckers. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of suckers on an octopus (order Octopoda) arm. The suckers are used to grasp prey when hunting, and also to manipulate the objects (such as rocks) used to build their dens. The suckers also have chemoreceptors that allow an octopus to taste what it is touching

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an octopus's suckers. Taken using a scanning electron microscope, the image reveals a close-up view of these remarkable structures found on one of the creature's arms. The vibrant colors and detailed textures bring to life the fascinating world of this marine invertebrate. Octopus suckers serve multiple purposes in their daily lives. They are essential tools for hunting, allowing the octopus to firmly grasp its prey and secure it during feeding. Additionally, these versatile suckers play a crucial role in manipulating objects such as rocks, which are used by octopuses to construct their dens. What makes these suckers even more extraordinary is their chemoreceptors, enabling the octopus to taste whatever it touches. This unique sensory ability adds another layer of complexity to their already impressive repertoire. The photograph captures not only the biological aspects but also highlights the curled limb and tentacle-like appearance of an octopus arm. Against a black background, every detail stands out with clarity and precision. Through this stunning image by SUSUMU NISHINAGA from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the anatomy and behavior of these intelligent creatures that inhabit our oceans. It serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and reminds us how much there still is left to discover beneath the surface of our vast aquatic world.
