Electron Microscopy of Living Insects

Electron micrographs of living specimens of the various developmental stages of the insect Tribolium confusum have been obtained with a scanning electron microscope. In most cases the specimens resumed their normal activity after being examined with the electron microscope and under went metamorphosis into the next stage.
