Micron-Scale Insect Anatomy

From FEI Company
 

 

The samples imaged were air-dried insects (ant, fruit fly, mosquito) and a tick (Arachnids). A number of structures were imaged to create a single classroom presentation in insect anatomy for North Shore Community College in Massachusetts, and as part of a broader series of classroom presentations directed at grades 9-12, physics, chemistry and biology, at Newburyport High School. The specimens were collected from readily available and indigenous species such as the tick, fruit fly, ant and mosquito. The images showed the students not only specific anatomical detail and inter specie variations but how detailed and complex these structures can be at very small scale.
