Title:
In this scanning electron micrographic (SEM) view of an unidentified white moth's exoskeletal surface, under a relatively low magnification
Description:
In this scanning electron micrographic (SEM) view of an unidentified white moth's exoskeletal surface, under a relatively low magnification of 795X, some of the ultrastructural details found in the construct of its scales was revealed. This moth, discovered deceased in the Decatur, Georgia suburbs, was a member of the Phylum Arthropoda, Order Lepidoptera. At this level of magnification the diaphanous structure of these scales could be appreciated, bringing to life the incredible microscopic beauty, which goes unseen, but is abundant all around us. For another, highly magnified view revealing the proximal end of a single scale, as it inserted into the exoskeletal surface, see PHIL 9841.
