EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of mange mites. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), two mites belonging to the Sarcoptidae family are depicted, each varying in size. These minuscule creatures are responsible for causing mange, a parasitic infestation that affects the skin of mammals. The image's magnification at x120 when printed at 10 centimetres wide allows us to appreciate the astonishing details and complexity of these arachnids. The false-coloured SEM highlights their unique features and provides insight into their biology and structure. Mange is a common condition found in both wild animals and domesticated pets, making this image relevant to various fields such as zoology, veterinary medicine, dermatology, and parasitology. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying ectoparasites or investigating skin diseases caused by mites. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders through its lens, offering us an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic realm. This photograph not only educates but also fascinates viewers with its portrayal of these tiny yet impactful organisms that play a significant role in our understanding of wildlife health and conservation efforts.
