FIGURE 8. 3 D in Contribution to the morphological description of the marine leech, Ozobranchus margoi (Apáthy) (Rhynchobdellida: Ozobranchidae) by using combined histology, micro-CT and SEM

FIGURE 8. 3 D volume renderings of O. margoi using the micro-CT technology. Contrast enhancement to expose the denser parts. A, dorsal view of the whole body until the posterior sucker (ps) enouncing the digestive system. From the posterior intestine (pi) two lateral post ceca are starting (pca). Four pairs of blind ending lateral diverticula (ld) are diverting from the posterior intestine that finally enlarge to form a sac-like structure. Arrows indicate the two lateral blind-ended sacks in the last sack of the posterior intestine. B, frontal view of the anterior sucker (as) showing the four lines of lateral columnar glands (gl) and a central gland-like structure separated from the other (arrow). Scale bar = 1 mm.
