Appendix 7—figure 6. Photoreceptors of blind trp/trpl null-mutants flies show photomechanical contractions.

Appendix 7—figure 6.

(A) ERGs of trpl/trpl mutants show no electrical activity indicating that these flies are profoundly blind. (B) High-speed video recordings at their rhabdomeres show light-induced lateral movements, indicating that (i) these photoreceptors contact photomechanically and (ii) these movements cannot involve eye muscle activation.
