These haunting anatomical images turn vertebrates inside out

A thin line separates science from art. It's often blurred. When scientists employ an artist's creativity, imaginatively theorize the unimaginable - as Newton, Einstein, and Hawking were able to do - they've been known to make discoveries worth hanging on gallery walls. When artists apply methodological rigor to their work, they have a chance to illuminate the seemingly inaccessible aspects of science. Da Vinci, Dalí, Stelarc - each was an artist with a scientific frame of mind.
Two new imaging techniques developed by researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) blend science and art in a hauntingly captivating way. The techniques allow for photos to be taken of 50-plus-year-old vertebrate specimens, depicting the intricacies of their anatomy. Among the specimens imaged were a shrew, python, and viperfish."
