When's the last time you saw a macro photograph of a tardigrade? This wasn't taken with a microscope - I pushed my camera equipment (and patience) to the extreme for this one! They're simply the best little creatures.

@frankashwood @albertcardona where is the connectome of these little guys!?
@MarcusStensmyr @frankashwood We are trying. Getting tardigrade samples is a bottleneck. Developing a good #vEM sample prep protocol is likely to be another. But I'm game.
