    That is confirmed 100% cool and also pretty disgusting looking. How did you take the picture? A visible light camera with a really big lens?

      Thank you! It's really gross to dissect them, too, haha... It's very tiny (this picture is 400 um x 1100 um) so you have to use a microsope. This is a really cool microscope because instead of taking the picture at once, it actually scans over the sample with a laser in 3D and collects the light from each point, took about an hour for this sample (it's called confocal microscopy if you want to google it).
