Under a low magnification of 79X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the ultrastructural features found on the ventral exoskeletal surface of this larval-staged antlions mandibles. This larva is sometimes referred to as a doodlebug, because of the trails it leaves in the soft sand as it hunts for prey. This arthropod undergoes dramatic morphologic changes when it metamorphoses into a beautiful flying antlion lacewing.These large mandibles are used to apprehend prey that unwitti

This scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural features observed on the surface of a protozoan Acanthamoeba polyphaga. Note the amorphous nature of the organisms exterior from which the pseudopodia can extend. These pseudopodia allow the amoeba to move and grasp objects in its environment.

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

This scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology displayed on the ventral surface of a bedbug, Cimex lectularius. From this view you can see the insects skin-piercing mouthparts used it uses to obtain its blood meal. Although bedbugs have been found naturally-infected with blood-borne pathogens, they are not effective vectors of disease. The primary medical importance is inflammation associated with their bites (due to allergic reactions to components in

Magnified 3850X, this 2002 scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by what is thought to be a single Hartmannella vermiformis amoeba cyst and debris artifact. The amoeba assumes the cystic stage of its life cycle under harsh conditions such as drought, or when there is an accumulation of environmental toxins, thus reducing its metabolic needs. Under these circumstances, the protozoan produces a protective coat and goes into a dormant state. CDC/Dr Rodney Donlan 2002
