    Fruit fly larvae brains showing tubulin

    6808

    Two fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) larvae brains with neurons expressing fluorescently tagged tubulin protein. Tubulin makes up strong, hollow fibers called microtubules that play important roles in neuron growth and migration during brain development. This image was captured using confocal microscopy, and the color indicates the position of the neurons within the brain.
    Public Note
    Internal NoteAlt text: Two heart-shaped fruit fly brains with many fluorescent threads running throughout them. Researcher-Provided Description: Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) third instar larval brains expressing fluorescently tagged tubulin in neurons. Spectrum colors were artificially applied to Z-stack images according to the position within the brain (red, dorsal side; purple, ventral side). The image was acquired on a Nikon Eclipse U2000 inverted stand with a Yokogawa CSU10 spinning disk confocal head and a 40X 1.30-N.A. lens, using Evolve EMCCD, controlled by Nikon Elements software. Dear Abbey, We have some images for you. Would you like to have a look at them? How do you want me to share them with you (TIFF files are too big for email). Best, Vladimir Gelfand
