This video is of the digestive system of an orbatid mite, Archigozetes longisetosus. These images are taken from an actual mite using Synchotron-X-ray-Tomography. This technique allows 3-D reconstruction of structures lying below the surface at the submicron level.
This particular video was made by Michael Heethoff at the University of Tubingen, Germany (Heethoff et al. 2008 Journal of Visualized Experiments.
* Researchers at the Center for Marine Sciences of Algarve (CCMAR) found that fish have the capacity to regulate the amount of bicarbonate eliminated through the intestine, a process controlled by hormones. A recently published study by researchers CCMAR reveals that the fish intestines eliminate bicarbonate, as part of the process of ionic regulation, and favor the formation of aggregates of mineralized calcium and magnesium that immobilize CO2 in the form of carbonate and bicarbonate. Had already been previously shown that the formation of these aggregates biomineralizados has a significant impact on the oceanic carbon cycle (including CO2). These studies put in evidence once more the delicate balance and interdependence in nature, and the importance of preserving marine resources, like fish.
