Bertsch, A.; Titze, A. - The Genital Capsule of selected European Bumblebee Males (Bombus): a collection of 600 SEM images (Scanning Electron Microscope)

Title: The Genital Capsule of selected European Bumblebee Males (Bombus): a collection of 600 SEM images (Scanning Electron Microscope)
Description: Bücher und Medien Verlag Florian Bertsch 2019 316, 630 SEM photos. A4. HB. NEW. . The genital capsule of the bumblebee is nearly always illustrated in dorso-ventral view. This may be sufficient as a quick aid to species identification. However, in order to get an idea of the spatial arrangement of these complex morphological structures, it is not suffi­cient. Images are always two-dimensional projections; they cannot adequately depict the three-dimensional form of a structure. In order to recognize the real shape of an object one needs to look at several projections from varying angles.Not everyone who wants to deal with bumblebees has access to a really excellent stereo­microscope. Hopefully, these SEM images (Scanning Electron Microscope) will help to overcome this deficiency: they are intended to convey the best possible picture of reality. Of course, they cannot replace rea­lity, i.e. the exact study of a genital capsule.. [9783947278404]
