Cycle 12 embryos expressing α-tubulin–GFP were imaged every 10 s under the confocal microscope. Image series were analyzed using automated tracking software and the angle of centrosome separation 20 s before NEB was calculated. akt mutant, embryos laid by akt04226/akt1q mothers; α-Akt injected, embryos injected with Alexa 555–labeled anti-Akt antibodies; apc2Δsmutant, embryos laid by apc2Δshomozygote mothers; control injected, embryos injected with Alexa 555–labeled BSA; sgg1/FM7;; akt mutant, embryos laid by akt04226/akt1q mothers carrying one copy of the sgg mutation; wild type, wild-type embryos.
