Diaphonized puffer fish [TOP100]

Diaphonization, is the art of clearing and staining subjects – a process which can take many months. After ethically sourcing the dead subjects, I dehydrated them in 95% ethanol to harden the bones and cartilages inside. The process then involves using special stains such as alizarin red and alcian blue to stain the bones (red) and cartilages (blue). Later, the subjects were immersed in a soup of trypsin (natural enzyme), which digests most of the tissues and renders them transparent – leaving the stained bone and cartilage behind.. The process is painstakingly long and any minor mistake at any stage can fail the whole process. The final step is to place the subject in glycerine, which provides the right refractive index, taking multiple shots and stacking them to create a single image.

Snail Magic

snails are very important. They provide food for all sorts of mammals, birds, slow worms, earthworms, insects and they are part of the natural balance. Upset that balance by removing them and we can do a lot of harm. Thrushes in particular thrive on them!

This is absolutely a first for me and a memorable one indeed! Presenting to you this gorgeous momma huntsman spider with its cute spiderlings! I surprisingly found them on a drizzling afternoon, in a tricycle rain cover. I had to unfold the cover and to my surprise, this beautiful scene appeared right before my eyes.
