The chameleon had been prepped with stains that dye bones and cartilage, an enzyme that digests flesh, and chemicals that render skin and muscles transparent. Because she was working with a three-dimensional subject, Marchiondo focused her camera on different planes of its body and then stitched 32 images together to create a single, crisp picture.
