As a longstanding member of the electron microscopy unit at the Weizmann Institute of Science and an active participant in the Israel Society for Microscopy (ISM), Eyal's impact on scientific research and many personal lives was immeasurable. Eyal obtained the original transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image used to create this artistic piece.<br \/>\nThe TEM image was taken from a silk gland's epithelial cell of the Bombyx mori silkworm (domesticated silkworm). The image presents the interior composition of the cell, which entails its various organelles and vesicles. The long striped structures visible in the image are called tracheal tubes. These tubes are part of the insect respiratory system, transporting air to its organs. The sample was prepared by high-pressure freezing of the posterior part of the silk gland, followed by a freeze-substitution procedure, epoxy embedding, and ultra-microtome sectioning for TEM imaging.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><span class=\"su-dropcap su-dropcap-style-default\" style=\"font-size:1em\">2<\/span><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ismicroscopy.org.il\/ism2024\/files\/2024\/05\/02-D.-MELANOGASTER-LARVAS-HEAD.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"569\"  src=\"http:\/\/www.ismicroscopy.org.il\/ism2024\/files\/2024\/05\/02-D.-MELANOGASTER-LARVAS-HEAD-300x257.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"257\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-569\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ismicroscopy.org.il\/ism2024\/files\/2024\/05\/02-D.-MELANOGASTER-LARVAS-HEAD-300x257.png 300w, http:\/\/www.ismicroscopy.org.il\/ism2024\/files\/2024\/05\/02-D.-MELANOGASTER-LARVAS-HEAD-150x128.png 150w, http:\/\/www.ismicroscopy.org.il\/ism2024\/files\/2024\/05\/02-D.-MELANOGASTER-LARVAS-HEAD.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><\/td><td class=\"column-4\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; color: blue;\">D.
