Feb 07: Underneath

So today's word was underneath and I thought it would be fairly easy to take a microscopic shot of the below regions of a Woody.
You would not believe how difficult it is to get a woodlouse to stay still when they don't like slippery glass and are not too keen on light.

Anyway, I managed to get this one and I have used the old 'type a load of text because the photo is a bit rubbish' routine here.
