Bellis perenis, daisy petalScanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a daisy petal. Published in Close-Up (2004) by Chris Jones and Alex Ball (inside cover)
Aphis fabae, black bean aphidScanning electron microscope image showing a frontal view of a black bean aphid on leaf (x100). Aphids or plant lice are small, plant-sucking insects
Coccolithus pelagicusCoccosphere of Coccolithus pelagicus, a common cold water coccolithophore. Collected from the British Continental shelf, North West of Scotland. Specimen diameter 15m. False-coloured SEM image
Florisphaera profundaA coccolithophore with highly modified, plate-like coccoliths. This is a very common deep dwelleing species, typically living at about 100-150m depth in the water column
Ophiaster formosusA coccolithophore with long appendages formed of strings of highly modified coccoliths. Collected from the West Pacific. Specimen diameter 50m. False-coloured SEM image
Pontosphaera japonica. A coccolithophore with relatively large, flat, coccoliths. Collected from off Hawaii. Specimen diameter 22m. False-coloured SEM image
Pelargonium crispum, lemon geranium
Fractured antherScanning electron microscope (SEM) image showing a fractured anther, otherwise known as the sac, which contains the pollen in the male sex organs (stamens)
Amirthalingamia macracantha, tapeworm
Asteraceae, daisyScanning electron microscope image of the fractured surface of an anther showing a developing pollen grain from a member of the daisy or Asteraceae family ( X 3000)
Taraxacum officinale, dandelionScanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a dandelion (x 80)
Ctenocephalides canis, dog fleaScanning electron microscope image showing a dog fleas backwards pointing hairs that help it stay attached to its host (x 40 on standard 9cm wide print). Artificially coloured by computer
A bryozoan colonyScanning electron microscope image displayed on the glass screens in the Darwin Centre, at the Natural History Museum, London
Browallia speciosa, amethystA pollen grain of the Browallia speciosa (polar view) from the family Solanaceae, the tomato family
Pollen on beeScanning electron microscope (SEM) image of pollen on a bee. If the plant depends on animals for pollination, the pollen will be relatively large and sticky
Dermestes lardarius, larder beetleScanning electron microscope image of a larder beetle (x22). These beetles are important for the damage they do, mainly through feeding on animal matter. Coloured artificially by computer
Calcidiscus leptoporus and Syracolithus quadriperforatus, coIn this scanning electron micrograph, the transition of a life-cycle stage in Calcidiscus is shown from the outer cover to the inner layer. Specimen taken from W. Mediterranean
Coccinella 7-punctata, seven spotted ladybird
Varroa jacobsoni, honey bee mite
Wilbertopora woodwardi (Brydone), bryozoanScanning electron micrograph of a fossil cheilostome bryozoan. Specimen originates from the Upper Cretaceous Chalk, West Mean Station, Hampshire, U.K
Pinus sylvestris, scots pineScanning electron microscope (SEM) image showing a pollen grain from a scots pine. Note the air bladders that help it to float through the air (x 1500 on a standard 9 cm wide print)
Chenopodium album, goosefootScanning electron microscope image of a pollen grain from a member of the goosefoot family (x 3000 on a standard 9 cm wide print)
