Spider exuvia. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Molting is the process by which an arthropod with an exoskeleton sheds its outer layer to reveal new cuticle. The new exoskeleton is soft and flexible. This allows the animal to pump some hemolymph into its body in order to stretch and grow larger. The shed exoskeleton is called the exuvia. Magnification: x30 when printed at 10cm wide.
