Your book lung pic looks suspiciously like a half mashed ocular tubercle.
Have a look here for a good guide to tarantula anatomy www.arachnophiles.co.uk/forum/showthread...Theraphosid-Taxonomy

All close up pics were taken with a cheap kodak 6mp camera pointed down the lens of an equally cheap microscope. For best results switch to macro mode, turn the flash off and zoom in a little on the camera so it gets rid of the black circle commonly seen in most folks microscope pics. An external light source helps as well.
