These are images of fairly small centipedes that were found in moss samples. In both cases looking at the ventral side.
The upper image was taken with an Olympus 4/0.16 S Plan Apo, using darkfield illumination. The stack consisted of 19 images.
The lower image gives a good look at one of the articulated pincers. Brightfield illumination. Partially crossed polarization was used to show the internal musculature. This was taken with an Olympus 10/0.40 S Plan Apo. The stack consisted of 16 images.
An Olympus NFK 1.67X projection eyepiece and a Canon 350D were used on the trinocular tube.
