To lake the picture we lifted  the animal using  an eyebrow hair and placed the tardigrade under a microscope as we kooked at the cratture  through the lens we built  scenery around it with moss and wood then a special elec tron microscope scanned the scene to create  the image. it's so cool to see something that's practically invisble it's like your're get thing  a peek into a sceret world. from called book national geographic kids.
