Summary

Description
English: This image is of an unidentified species of diptera (midge) larva, possibly a non-biting diptera midge. The image is a focus stacked panorama captured in darkfield + compensated polarized light microscopy. In plane polarized light, birefringent muscle tissues within the body of the creature appear to glow in varying colours that depend on the fiber density and their orientations with respect to the optical axis of the microscope. The colors are derived from the insertion of a waveplate in the optical path of the microscope.
