Oscillating trichobothria in the low temperature SEM: biological capacitors or changing artifacts

Three species of mites, the itch mite, Pyemotes tritici and two beetle mites, Archegozetes longisetosus and a Galumna jacoti, were prepared for low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM). Each of the three species has two trichobothria that occur anterior and lateral, left and right, on th...

Summary:Three species of mites, the itch mite, Pyemotes tritici and two beetle mites, Archegozetes longisetosus and a Galumna jacoti, were prepared for low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM). Each of the three species has two trichobothria that occur anterior and lateral, left and right, on the mite. Based on the results, it is suggested that the trichobothria may function as a capacitor that would be slightly deflected by an electromagnetic field.
