Metal Print : Pork tapeworm scolex, light micrograph
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
Pork tapeworm scolex, light micrograph
Pork tapeworm (Taenia solium) scolex, light micrograph. This structure, the head of this parasite worm, has two circular rings of hooks (right) and four suckers (two at left, one at lower right). These are used by the tapeworm to attach itself to the interior lining of the intestines of its host. It then absorbs nutrients and grows body segments called proglottids that detach and continue the reproductive cycle. Magnification: x200 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a pork tapeworm scolex, as seen under a light microscope. The scolex is the head of this parasitic worm and plays a crucial role in its survival. In this image, we can observe two circular rings of hooks on the right side, along with four suckers - two on the left and one at the lower right. These specialized structures serve as tools for attachment to the interior lining of its host's intestines. Once firmly attached, the tapeworm absorbs nutrients from its host and begins growing body segments known as proglottids. These proglottids eventually detach from the scolex and continue their reproductive cycle independently. The magnification level used for this photograph allows us to appreciate these minute features at x200 when printed at 10 centimeters across. It provides valuable insights into nature's complex web of life, shedding light on zoology, biology, helminthology (the study of worms), and parasitology. Through images like these captured by Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper understanding of parasites' fascinating adaptations and their interactions within different ecosystems. This particular print serves as an educational tool that aids researchers in studying these organisms while also showcasing nature's remarkable diversity.
