Under a magnification of 40X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the ultrastructural architecture found in a brown recluse spiders (Loxesceles reclusa) web that had entrapped an unidentified ant. Though the prey had been enwrapped in a silk cocoon, there were still some of its body parts that were visible such as one of its two compound eyes, and one of its two segmented antennae (background). The antenna is composed of three main regions: scape, pedicle, and flagellum.

Small, Unidentified Insect

This scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted the mucosal surface of the small intestine of a gerbil infested with Giardia sp. protozoa. The intestinal epithelial surface is almost entirely obscured by the attached Giardia trophozoites. The protozoan Giardia causes the diarrheal disease called giardiasis. Giardia species exist as free-swimming (by means of flagella) trophozoites, and as egg-shaped cysts. It is the cystic stage, which facilitates the survival of these organisms under hars

Magnified 3592X, this 2002 scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by five Hartmannella vermiformis amoeba trophozoites. The trophozoite stage of an amoeba's life cycle is its vegetative phase, devoted to feeding, movement, and reproduction. This free-living protozoan moves in response to chemical cues in its environment by extending pseudopodia, or false feet, a number of which are visible in this image. CDC/Dr Rodney Donlan 2002
