Day 150 of #LMB365 shows the transparent multicellular organism C. elegans, which has fewer than 1,000 cells, and is therefore an ideal model organism for studying various biological processes. Here the entire intestine of two worms is tagged using a green fluorescent protein (GFP), while rows of oval-shaped eggs can be seen in grey.
