Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the parallel barbs of a feather from a falcon (Falco sp.). The barbs branch off a central stem called a rachis (not seen), and themselves branch into finer barbules, which terminate in tiny hooks (barbicels), which attach to the adjacent barbule. These links allow the feather to present a flat blade.
