圖為海扁蟲的穆勒幼蟲,為研究團隊於臺灣東北角馬崗潮間帶進行浮游動物採樣時發現的。影像為幼蟲的腹面照,前端朝上。為呈現顯微結構的細節,同時染上了能標記肌動蛋白(黑)與細胞型態(洋紅)的分子染劑。

猜猜看牠的嘴巴在哪裡呢?

This Müller’s larva of the marine flatworm was discovered by our research team during plankton sampling in the intertidal zone of Magang in northeastern Taiwan. The image shows the ventral view of the larva, with the anterior end facing upwards. To reveal microscopic structural details, molecular stains were applied to label F-actin (black) and cellular morphology (magenta).

Can you identify its mouth?
