Figure 4

3D renderings of an axolotl ( Ambystoma mexicanum ) feeding larva. Glyoxal-fixed, stored in 70% ethanol, PTA-stained. Left column shows external views from the dorsal, left, and ventral sides, each with the background half deleted for clarity. Right column shows the same views, but with the foreground half removed. PTA staining highlights muscles and nervous tissues, as well as sensory organs: note the prominent nasal capsules and neuromasts. Horizontal bar = 500 μm. Voxel size 9.6 μm.
