Scanning Electron Micrographs of Caenorhabditis elegans and Oscheius tipulae


O. tipulae (A and C) and C. elegans (B and D) were submitted to SEM to show their different external morphology. (A) and (B) show the head and (C) and (D) show the lateral line. NOTE the size and position of the amphids (chemosensory organs) and lips in both species (A and B). NOTE also the different morphology of the lateral line (C and D) in both animals.
