Description
Ant and microchip. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a wood or heathland ant, Formica fusca, holding a microchip. The round compound eyes are seen above the long antennae. The mouthparts consist of toothed (serrated) mandibles which are holding a microchip. Microchips are used in computers and carry complex microscopic circuits printed onto thin wafers of silicon. The wood ant is social, and acts as a slave for the blood-red ant Formica sanguinea. Inseminated females of the blood-red ant invade wood ant nests, steal the pupae, and the ants that hatch are made to work for the strange queen. Magnification: x10 at 5x7cm size. Magnification: x22 at 6x4.5 inch size.
