虽然温室千足虫，Oxidus gracilis，分布在世界各地，但很少有工作使用现代工具来探索其形态。我们使用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜（CLSM）图像的氰化物腺的Oxidus gracilis。成年千足虫的腺体在成像前被解剖出来，由于腺体提取物的强烈自发荧光，我们能够通过角质层对青少年的腺体进行成像。我们可以报告，CLSM是一种很有前途的技术，非侵入性地调查的发展和机制的polydesmid氰化物腺体。
Although the greenhouse millipede, Oxidus gracilis, is distributed worldwide, there is little work using modern tools to explore its morphology. We used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to image the cyanide glands of Oxidus gracilis. Glands from adult millipedes were dissected out before imaging, and we were able to image glands of juveniles through the cuticle due to the strong autofluorescence of the gland extract. We can report that CLSM is a promising technique to non-invasively investigate the development and mechanisms of polydesmid cyanide glands.
