Table 1. Successful axotomies and associated damage assessment techniques.
Successful axotomies (n = 56/61) | Method/Observation (n) |
NO apparent damage (12) | PSHG: Revealed NO Myosin modification (3) |
PSHG: Revealed myosin modification (9) | |
Damaged (44) | Confocal, TPEF: damage is revealed through autofluorescence (33) |
Transmitted light: Observation of long lasting bubbles in the cuticle (4) | |
SHG: Lack of the characteristic SHG signal in muscle due to fiber disruption (44) |
This table summarizes the total number of successful axotomies (n = 56 out of 61) and the techniques used for the damage assessment.
