In the dark, a hidden world reveals itself - an electron microscope captures the intricate details of a chilopoda's cross-section, magnified beyond human scale. Surrounded by dazzling acicular crystals that glitter like stars in an inky night sky, the centipede's body glows with a kodachromatic lighting, its internal workings exposed and illuminated for our curious eyes to behold. The mood is both eerie and awe-inspiring, as we peer into a realm typically unseen by the eye.
