Figure 8

Examples of embryonic development following laser ablation of specific 4d progeny in embryos of C. fornicata. In each case 4d was injected with DiI at the 25-cell stage and specific progeny ablated at later stages of development. The ablated cell(s) are listed in the lower right corner of each panel. Green fluorescence shows presence or absence of autofluorescent crystal cells. (A,C,I,L-N,S,X) Superior views taken from above the head with the right side of the larvae to the left side of the figure. (B,E,G,O,Q,T,V) Right lateral views. (J) Ventral view with the right side of the larva to the left side of the figure. (D,F,H,K,P,R,U,W) Left lateral views. Structures are as indicated for Figures 2 and 5. Scale bar in X equals 40 μm.
