<Disclosure>I work in the group where these experiments were performed.

The flies legs were not pulled off as far as I know (I can ask tomorrow).
It's simply that the field of view of the microtomographic setup is not big enough to have the whole fly in it (at this magnification and speed).
I.e. the sample is bigger than the FOV, which we call "local tomography".
