Description:
Under this relatively highly magnified scanning electron micrographic (SEM) view, some of the wondrous ultrastructural shapes found on the surface of an unidentified white moth were revealed. This moth, discovered deceased in the Decatur, Georgia suburbs, was a member of the Phylum Arthropoda, Order Lepidoptera.At this level of magnification, 1388X, the proximal strut of one single scale could be seen as it inserted into its exoskeletal pore, while another scale was entirely extracted from its insertion site. Imagery such as this brings to life, the incredible microscopic beauty, which goes unseen, but is abundant all around us. For another view of the scalar insertion site, at a much higher magnification, see PHIL 9841.
