| More fun with the SEM. This short movie that zooms over and around a wild type C. elegans hermaphrodite is composed of over 150 individual digital SEM images. It took two people (myself and Adam Hartley) over 5 hours to collect the data.
In this movie, you can see the following structures: whip-like tail; vulva; alae; annuli; deirid; mouth; amphid and labia.
See http://www.wormatlas.org/handbook/bodyshape.htm for more details on these structures. (Labeled monochromatic SEM images on this site also by C.B. marks) |
