Internal organs of Small Shrimp

Captured this very interesting look at the internal organs of a small shrimp(copepod). Really fascinating to see them semi-transparent. I always feel bad however for putting them under the microscope :?

Thanks to your video, I think I better understand what some of the structures are that I'm seeing in this DIC image of a copepod:

That digestive tract seen in your video looks like it's got quite a few muscles and attachment points to the carapace, that I can see in DIC. My copepods were rendered clear by bacteria eating most of their innards.
