DEEP LOOK is a science video series that explores big science by going very, very small, from KQED and PBS Digital Studios.
We use macro photography and microscopy in glorious 4K resolution, to see science up close … really, really close.

From Deep Look. Scientists have discovered that the mosquito’s mouth, called a proboscis isn’t just one tiny spear. It’s a sophisticated system of thin needles, each of which pierces the skin, finds blood vessels and makes it easy for mosquitoes to suck blood out of them.
