Description:
In 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, 1590X, the distal edge of a number of scales could be seen, as well as the diaphanous structure of these adnexae. Imagery such as this brings 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.
