homas Eisner, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor<br />
of biology, is renowned for his pioneering<br />
work in chemical ecology. He is also a remarkable<br />
photographer. This photograph shows Mexican<br />
bean beetle larvae feeding on a leaf. It was<br />
taken with a Wild M400 photomicroscope, which magnified<br />
the larvae 470 times.<br />
"Pictures convey the sense of beauty that draws so<br />
many of us to biology in the first place," Eisner said in<br />
a catalogue that accompanied an exhibit of his photographs<br />
at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington,<br />
DC. "A day in the field with camera, or with the<br />
photomicroscope in the studio I have built beside our<br />
house in the Ithaca woods, is my idea of heaven."<br />
A heaven with some hellish-looking creatures.<br />
