Dear Deborah,
This Wednesday we’ve got an interesting seminar from our Synthesys visitor showing different visualisation approaches for studying crustacean development. I thought it might be interesting for some of your FILM
users. Would you mind circulating it as I don’t seem to have a FILM users address?
Many thanks,
Tomasz

Arthropods are the most diverse and common animals that live all over the world. Crustacea, which belong to that group show an incredible
diversity of morphology, size, and habitats attesting their evolutionary success. Although they are the most abundant animals which mainly live in aquatic ecosystems, the knowledge about their morphology and development is rather fragmentary and there is still
a lot of information which needs to be clarified. Moreover, most studies of anatomy and morphology of decapods are based on classical methods. The lack of general information on development and histology of crustacea digestive tract encouraged me to start
this study.
In my talk I will present a comparison of novel vs classical histological and embriological techniques employing high resolution microscopy and
micro-CT scanning for 3D visualisations of the structure and ultrastructure of digestive system of freshwater shrimp
Neocaridina heteropoda (Crustacea, Malacostraca, Decapoda) which can serve as
great example for comparative study for other crustaceans. Futhuremore, I will show the importance
of regeneration and degeneration processes which occur in midgut epithelium
in development, proper functioning and homeostasis maintenance of the investigated organ.
