Confocal imaging of the exo- and endoskeleton of Protura after nondestructive DNA extraction

In certain minute arthropods, such as Protura, species determination cannot be performed unambiguously without clearing and slide mounting of specimens. This causes an awkward dilemma for scientists conducting molecular research, since conventional DNA extraction entails destruction of the whole sp...
