You can now feast your eyes on three dimensional images and videos of the brain, small intestine, large intestine, kidney, lung and testicles of a mouse.
The models were made possible by techniques known as fluorescence and multiphoton microscopy, which allow the natural fluorescence emitted by tissues to show up on camera.
Cool as this is, you might be wondering why anyone would take the time to study mouse innards so intently.
