The parallel pair is very nice.
Do you mean a stereoscopic fly-by video? Alas I don't do instagram. Any chance to put it on youtube?
Thanks,
John

Re: Snail tongues
Very nice! The motion fills in much of the 3D information that needs stereo in a static view.

Plum wonderful!
My favorite: the cross-eyed stereo pair. (If they are not cross-eyed, I've misunderstood them.)

Re: Snail tongues
Cool video!
One can make a stereoscopic LR fly-by video from a mono fly-across video by simply lagging (or leading) the mono stream vs. itself (for purely lateral fly-across only, like some small parts of the one shown).

Re: Snail tongues
Thank, John! Blender, the program I used to render the video, has a stereo rendering option I've never used. I should definitely explore it 
Re: Snail tongues
These are great! makes me want to put one in my SEM...read on here boiling in KOH or caustic solution also works? But if the radula is silica it might degrade? Not sure how I'll explain to the wife im boiling snails...

Re: Snail tongues
You may always claim that you're experimenting with an escargot recipe Boiling in KOH (or NaOH; I guess Drano would work) would definitely remove the soft tissue, but it might also affect the connective tissue the teeth are embedded in. It's pretty delicate and prone to warping. The radula is made of chitin, not silica, although metals like zinc can be present in some species. I guess that would make an interesting sample for X-ray spectral analysis!
