Fig. 1. Counting peripodial membrane cells. Wing discs of different genotypes were
stained for Armadillo and large peripodial cells were counted on a
laser-scanning confocal microscope at 60x magnification. (A) A single
optical section of only peripodial membrane. Such optical sections were used
to obtain a relative count of peripodial cells in different genetic
backgrounds. (B) A single optical section of disc proper. (C,D)
vg-GAL4 (C) and 426-GAL4 (D) expression patterns as seen with
UAS-lacZ. (E,F) vg-GAL4/UAS-Ubx (E) and 426-GAL4/UAS-Vg (F)
wing discs reconstructed from several optical scans showing large peripodial
and small disc proper cells.
