Studio stack: You know the drill?
You are looking at the gruesome mouthparts of a female tick, Ixodes ricinus.
This is a ventral view – just as your skin sees it when it's about to get pierced ;-)
Shot at 20:1 magnification and stacked from 132 exposures in Zerene Stacker. Lens: Nikon BD M Plan 20x 0.4 ELWD, microscope objective
