Muscle fibers
dailymotion.com has some amazing videos made by a group called Weird_Weird_Science about zooming into objects. They zoom into hair, Aluminum, a tooth, concrete, and many others including this video of lice. In this video, the highlighted feature is muscle tissue.
Here (right)is image that I took on one of our microscopes (the Philips CM-12 TEM) of some muscle tissue from a mouse. This tissue looks better preserved than the lice muscle and may give you a better idea of how the muscle bundles are organized. Click to enlarge.
