Recently I performed histological sectioning of a whole tick (an Ixodid); however, since I have never worked with ticks before, I am having a hard time identifying the organs and structures. Does anyone could indicate me a tick histology atlas, a research paper or another source that could help me with this?
Thank you in advance.

Perhaps, this will help a bit:

Dear Ana, you might also trawl through the answers of the following ResearchGate thread:
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Does_anyone_perform_histological_sectioning_of_whole_ticks,
knowing that the answers there might be more information and data than you explicitely was looking for...
(and, as you perhaps know, ResearchGate provides a full text search in its archives, also in category(-ies) "Publications", "Authors", "Questions" etc. Just put the search word or a suited search phrase into the field SEARCH you can find middle of top of this or any other RG-webpage....
best wishes and regards W.M.
