EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of silverfish scales, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the mesmerizing details of Lepisma saccharina, commonly known as silverfish. These ancient insects have remained virtually unchanged for millions of years, earning them the title of living fossils. The name "silverfish" aptly describes their appearance, as they are adorned with countless tiny shiny scales that glisten under close inspection. Despite their enchanting aesthetics, these creatures can be quite troublesome as common household pests. Feeding on starches found in food, books, and clothes, they often become unwelcome guests in our homes. With a magnification of x300 when printed at 10 cm wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable complexity and delicate nature of these bristletails. The false-colored presentation adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel while still preserving its authenticity. Captured by renowned photographer Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library's vast collection, this print serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant creatures possess astonishing wonders worth exploring. Whether displayed in a scientific laboratory or an art enthusiast's home gallery, this image is sure to spark curiosity and appreciation for the hidden beauty found within our natural world.
