Abstract in brief

This study developed a high-resolution micro-CT imaging technique using a contrast agent to create a detailed 3D atlas of the tobacco hornworm's gut, revealing new structures and complex folding patterns especially in the hindgut.
The method allows for precise volume measurements, virtual endoscopy, and better understanding of gut anatomy, which can improve histology, phenotyping, and chemical distribution studies.
The gut atlas offers valuable insights into the evolution and function of the digestive system in lepidopterans, aiding research in ecotoxicology, immunology, and gut physiology.]
