Entomologists Use a Particle Accelerator to Image Ants at Scale The detailed scans could inspire robots and biomechanical designs
A 3D model of an Eciton hamatum soldier ant, showing its morphology in very high detail. Portions of its exoskeleton have been digitally removed, revealing high-resolution renderings of its muscles, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and stinger apparatus.
