Fig. 1. crb and chp synergistically control the width of the rhabdomere.

Fig. 1.

(A–F) Electron micrographs of cross-sections of control (w) (A), crb11A22 (B), chp2 (C), crb11A22 +/+ + (D); + +/+ chp2 (E) and crb11A22 +/+ chp2 (F) adult Drosophila ommatidia. Scale bar: 1 µm. (G) Box-plot representing the width of rhabdomeres of indicated genotypes. Whiskers indicate 10–90% confidence interval. The width is indicated in µm2 and estimated by measuring cross-sectional areas of rhabdomeres from outer PRCs (R1–R6) in 1–2-day-old adult female Drosophila eyes. n  =  number of ommatidia.
