Framed Print of Drawing of the leg and foot of a fly
Drawing of the leg and foot of a fly (not specified) printed in a book called Micrographia by Robert Hooke, 1665. It shows the two tallons (claws) and the two pattens (adhesive pads), which Hooke realised represented alternate means of traction; claws for rough passages, sticky bits for when the going gets smooth. The book contains some of the most beautiful drawings of microscope observations ever made. Hooke was born in England in 1635, his main accomplishments were in the field of physics, where he studied the action of springs, and of biology, where he was one of the most eminent microscopists. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © DR JEREMY BURGESS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
