Mouthparts of a common housefly magnified at 450x. The coiled structures are typical of insects. I always thought this image looked surreal in a Daliesque kind of way. Image obtained with a B&L microscope using darkfield illumination. Prepared, balsam mounted slide.
excellentissimo, your fly on acid trip :) (I did some amateurish micro-shots - only 80x to 160x - but never achieved this brilliancy and incredible colors) : deepest congrats!
