Imagem de Nanorchestes Topsent & Trouessart 1890

Descrição:

Under a low magnification of 67x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the presence of a coating of debris adhered to the ventral surface of an unidentified lizard's head region, which had been found deceased on the grounds of the Decatur, Georgia suburbs. In this field of view was the reptile's left nostril, or naris. Note the myriad of what proved to be unidentified pollen grains, and unknown parasitic mites. For the full complement of images related to this specimen see PHIL 8803 through 8816, which includes highly magnified views of a Nanorchestes sp. mite found coincidentally on this repitiles skin.
