Cockroach

X-ray imaging is an important tool not only for medicine. Biology also takes advantage of “seeing through” various objects like this large tropical cockroach. Even though this insect is rather large, it is visualised with a great detail and contrast range. The X-ray imaging can tell a lot about anatomy or diseases of animals or insects.  Can you find a parasite inside the cockroach?

Sample size: ~60 mm X ~15 mm
