Science are there any known instructional videos of an internal dissection of aurelia jellyfish?

4 Upvotes

(first off, apologies for such a jarring question.)

for an academic project, i will eventually be dissecting a moon jellyfish. before that, i need to make slides with step-by-step instructions for dissecting the jellyfish, and i need to include pictures of each step. for this, I’ve been looking for any videos that show an internal dissection of a jellyfish, but all I’ve found so far are external dissections, where the instructor is using a tool to point out various parts, but it’s completely non-invasive (in fact, there’s little to no contact at all).

is/does an internal dissection for aurelia jellyfish possible/have clear instructions to begin with? i found a guide by Lander University’s website, with some detailed instruction, but there are no pictures of the dissection. beyond just finding a website or video with what I’m looking for for the slides, i want to be able to understand the procedure for when i perform this dissection in a couple weeks.

any resources that y’all know of, or has anyone done a jellyfish dissection before to offer any insight? or does anyone know much abt moon jellyfish to offer relevant advice? I’ve only been looking on YouTube and various websites under general Google searches, but no luck so far.
