EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and fascinating world of tapeworms. The coloured scanning electron micrograph captures the head (scolex) of a tapeworm, specifically Taenia pisiformis, in stunning detail. Against a black background, the image reveals the hooks that this parasitic creature uses to attach itself firmly to its host animal's digestive tract. Tapeworms are notorious parasites that thrive within animal intestines, surviving by feeding off the food ingested by their hosts. Astonishingly, adults of this particular species can grow up to an astonishing length of 200 centimetres. The magnification level used for printing this photograph is x100 when displayed at 10 centimetres wide. This allows viewers to appreciate every minute feature and structure present on the tapeworm's head. With its false-coloured presentation and high-resolution clarity achieved through scanning electron microscopy techniques, this image offers invaluable insights into the biology and nature of these flatworm parasites. It serves as a powerful tool for researchers in fields such as parasitology, veterinary medicine, zoology, and biology alike. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into our natural world – reminding us just how diverse and complex life forms can be even at microscopic levels.
