Squirrel monkey tongue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a squirrel monkey's (Saimiri sp.) tongue. The tongue is covered in many backward facing projections called filiform papillae,which sense pressure. They have a scaly appearance because they are constantly shedding their top layer of skin.
