Caption:
This photomicrograph highlighted some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by the tapeworm, Bertiella studeri. The specimen was harvested from a sample derived from a human patient with the tapeworm infection, referred to as cestodiasis. Note that you are looking at a close view of what are referred to as the tapeworm’s proglottids, or segments, which highlighted the segments’ muscle fibers.
