Caption:
Under a magnification of 1590X, this scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural shapes found on the exoskeletal surface of an unidentified white moth. This moth, discovered in the Decatur, Georgia suburbs, was a member of the phylum, Arthropoda. At this level of magnification, the distal edge of a number of scales could be seen, as well as the diaphanous structure of these adnexae. For another, highly magnified view, revealing the proximal end of a single scale, as it inserted into the exoskeletal surface, see PHIL 9841.
