| Adineta from permafrost, two images of the anterior part compressed specimen. Left image: stained with Calcofluor white that stains polysaccharides like for example chitin. The ramate trophi and (parts of) the rakes show intense fluorescence (excitation 395 nm). The arrowheads point to the chitinous U-hooks, the number of which is 4/4 in each of the rakes of 25 specimens that were examined. Right image: trophi and rake apparatus of another compressed and macerated specimen. |
