Breathing tube on a fruit flys pupa, SEM
Breathing tube on a fruit flys pupa, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This structure is called a spiracle. This fruit fly is Drosophila melanogaster (wild type Oregon R), and its larva develop within a structure called a puparium, from which pupal spiracles project outward. The anterior pair of spiracles terminate in tubelike extensions, called spiracular papillae (red). The exposed ends open in narrow slits, which take in air and pass it to the developing pupa. Magnification: x470 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate breathing tube of a fruit fly's pupa, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Known as a spiracle, this structure plays a vital role in respiration. The featured fruit fly belongs to the Drosophila melanogaster species, specifically the wild type Oregon R variant. During its larval stage, this tiny insect develops within a protective casing called a puparium, from which these fascinating pupal spiracles emerge. The anterior pair of spiracles on display terminate in striking tubelike extensions known as spiracular papillae, highlighted in vibrant red hues. These papillae possess narrow slits at their exposed ends that allow air to enter and be passed on to the developing pupa. With an impressive magnification of x470 when printed 10 centimetres wide, this image offers us an up-close look at the complex anatomy and biological processes taking place within these remarkable creatures. As we delve into the world of entomology and explore nature's incredible diversity, images like these remind us of the beauty found even in minuscule organisms. They also serve as valuable tools for studying developmental biology and understanding metamorphosis among insects. This photograph is yet another testament to Science Photo Library's commitment to capturing awe-inspiring moments from our natural world without commercial intent but with utmost scientific precision.
