μ-CT of late third instar larva. False-coloring of an intact larvae separated along the XZ axis (0-10 s) and viewed from an anterior-right perspective. 3D rendering of the cuticle and major organ groups: brain (red, 14 s); eye/antennal discs (light blue), leg discs (gold) and haltere discs (yellow) (15 s); wing discs (colored by thickness-see Figure 1, 17 s); gut (foregut, rose; midgut, lavender; hindgut, aqua blue; 18 s); Malpighian tubules (purple, 20 s); fat bodies (blue, 21 s); body wall (green) and mouthpart (yellow) muscles (22 s).
