Image of Nanorchestes Topsent & Trouessart 1890

Description:

Under a moderately high magnification of 547x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the presence of numbers of mites from the specie Nanorchestes sp., Family Nanorchestidae, which were highly festooned with an adornment of chitinous exoskeletal outcroppings. Under higher magnifications, i.e., PHIL 8808, 8809, these exoskeletal complexities were better appreciated in their diaphanous majesty.
