Image of figeater beetle

Description:

At a magnification of 130X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) focused on the head region of an adult figeater beetle, Cotinis mutabilis. In this particular view, the transitional area between one of the insect’s two compound eyes, i.e., right eye, and the vertex of its head is visualized. For even greater magnifications of the surface of the eye, see PHIL 9950, 9951, and 9952.
