Photos from a recent session spent dissecting lionfish. These lionfish were brought in by local Bahamian fishermen for CEI's "You Slay We Pay" campaign.
The stomach is pushed to the side, you can now see the beginning of the small intestine, the duodenum.

Left to right -
1/ Petri dish, minimum 60mm diameter.
2/ Dressmaking pin glued and bound into the centre of 4 cooks matches.
3/ Sewing needle (fixed as 2 but with different colour cotton so it is easily distinguished from 2).
3/ Woodcock pin feather (from friendly
game bird supplier or possibly for sale on line).
The pin is blunt compared to the needle so I use the pin to hold things steady, the needle to tear open the abdomen and the feather for cleaning and gentle manipulation of the specimen.
I start by holding the specimen steady with the pin and brushing off scales with feather until I can see the gen clearly. Then, if female, I generally break open the abdomen with the needle before using the feather to complete the work. If male, the gen can often be squeezed out ventrally and worked on while still attached to the abdomen - it's a bit easier to handle while still attached.
One of our beloved slow moving motors broke a tooth, so we opened it up to see if it was repairable. Here's what we found inside.

Here, the cricket's crop and digestive system have been pulled free and placed towards the bottom of the image so you can see what's underneath. In the thorax, it's the flight muscles. In the abdomen, there isn't much to see at the moment, but if this cricket were slightly older, the ovaries would be highly visible. Instead, most of what's left in the abdomen is fat - part of the fat body - and tracheoles, hollow tubes that run throughout an insect's body and allow it to breathe. Insects don't use fat in quite the same way that humans do. As a whole, an insect's "fat body" acts very much like a human's liver. It's an organ for storing and processing resources, and is very metabolically active.
Second and third-grade students from Riverside Elementary School in Dublin, Ohio, participated in a unique multi-part study of plants at COSI on Friday, November 1, 2013. Their visit included a guided exploration of COSI's outdoor prairie with Robin Dungan, COSI Manager of Education Services, where the students examined Ohio's native flora. One plant they examined in particular is the Virginia Mountain Mint, which has a perfectly square stem. The students also participated in a flower dissection in COSI's Lily Pad lab space, led by COSI Outreach Educators Tyler Fox and Nick Steinbrecher, where they examined the tiny components that make up a flower. This special hands-on program was funded by a writing grant from The Ohio State University. COSI is Columbus, Ohio's dynamic Center of Science and Industry.

Mica Herrin. 2015. Full title: Dissection of Myself; beautiful flaws
Scars. Broken nails. Facial hair. Crooked eyebrows. Stretch marks. Fizzy hair. Acne. Belly fat.
It was strangely beautiful for me to let my insecurities out like this, to purposefully capture the features that I feel are imperfect. I guess you can never really know how other people see you. But I know how I see myself. It makes me wonder if other people even see these features the way I do. Maybe the first step to being beautiful is realizing that you have flaws.
Other than stitching the images together, this is unedited and that makes me feel alright.
I
think
you
have

beautiful
