Original – Internal structures of a midge fly larva depicted via polarized light microscopy (7mm long x 0.7mm wide specimen)
Reason
High resolution image shows the utility of Polarized light microscopy. It shows the details of a 7mm long (0.27 inch) by 0.7mm wide (0.027 inch) larva of a Midge fly including its internal fibers and structures. Commons FP since January and stable lead image in polarized microscopy since then.

  • Comment "Unidentified species" - unfortunately. Gorgeous image though, so leaning to support. --Janke | Talk 18:55, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Identification to the order level is a little weak, but I suppose distinctions grow over development. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8% of all FPs 15:51, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
