Cross-section of an entire earthworm

Caption

The image shows a cross-section of an entire earthworm, images with two techniques: Mass spectrometry imaging (left) and fluorescence microscopy (right). The different colors of the mass spectrometry imaging data show the distribution of different metabolites in the tissue, whereas the fluorescence microscopy shows the tissue structures underlying the chemical distributions.
