EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of octopus suckers, revealing a world unseen by the naked eye. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the suckers on an octopus arm, providing insight into their remarkable functionality. Octopuses employ these suckers both as tools for hunting and as manipulative appendages. With their suction cups firmly attached to prey, they secure a firm grip while navigating their underwater realm. Additionally, these versatile suckers enable them to manipulate objects such as rocks, which they skillfully use to construct protective dens. Remarkably, these tiny structures also possess chemoreceptors that allow octopuses to taste what they touch. This unique sensory ability adds another layer of complexity to their already impressive repertoire of skills. Set against a striking black background, this image highlights the natural elegance and adaptability found in nature's creations. It serves as a reminder of the vast diversity within our oceans and invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden beneath the surface. Captured through meticulous magnification using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this photograph is not only visually stunning but also offers valuable insights into the biology and anatomy of these fascinating creatures. SUSUMU NISHINAGA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this moment in time, inviting us into an enchanting microscopic world teeming with life and mystery.
