3D models generated using confocal microscopy

 

Further to my recent blog on confocal microscopy, here are some images of 3D models that I generated using a confocal laser scanning microscope.

 

Acknowledgements: The 3D models were generated at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, US Department of Agriculture. The Daidalotarsonemus specimen was provided by José Marcos Rezende, São Paulo State University, Brazil.

About the Author: Samuel Bolton is a PhD student at the Acarology Laboratory at the Museum of Biological Diversity. He regularly uses confocal microscopy for his research on the mouthparts of mites.
