Here are some photos taken with a stereomicroscope.
Others are coming and I hope I will be able, in the
long term, to establish series of photos of various
body parts useful in scorpion identification (cephalothorax,
median and lateral eyes, sternum, metasoma, telson,
pectines, chelae, legs, spermatophores…) to be
able to identify easily and quickly some genus in a
first time, and species in the second time. These photos
will also allow, as far as possible, a differentiation
of the sexes of the photographed species.
