Scanning electron micrograph of a yellow mite (Lorryia formosa) among some fungi. Historically, mites have been difficult to study because of their minute size. But now, ARS scientists are freezing mites in their tracks and using scanning electron microscopy to observe them in detail. Photo credit: Eric Erbe and Chris Pooley, USDA/Fir0002 |
