Meal mite. Coloured environmental scanning electron micrograph (ESEM) of a meal,or grain,mite (Acarus siro) on cheese rind. This species is a common pest of granaries,mills and kitchens,feeding particularly on grains and cereals. It reproduces rapidly under good conditions,while under unfavourable conditions it forms a resting stage in which it can survive for over two years. Unlike a conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM),samples can be examined in an environmental SEM without being desiccated or coated in gold. Magnification unknown | |
