Many species of arachnids possess cuticular ridges, the function of which is not known. In the present investigation the structural properties of the ridges in a Trombidiform mite, Panonychus citri were studied, with a view towards discovering the function of the ridges.For scanning electron microscopy the animals were mounted on metal pos s previously coated with conducting silver paint. Best results were obtained by examining live animals, mounted on the posts immediately before examination. For transmission electron microscopy the animals were fixed in cacodylate-buffered glutaraldehyde, post-fixed in osmium, embedded in Spurr's low viscosity epoxy resin, and sectioned on diamond knives.
