Patency in Drosophila melanogaster
(A and A′) Stage 10a oocyte-associated FE. White box is expanded in (B-D″); Scale bars, 20 μm.
(B–B″, C–C″, and D–D″) Basal, lateral, and apical view, respectively, of the TC gaps in the oocyte-associated FE at St 10a. Hts (Hu li tai shao, adducin) marks the membrane; DAPI marks the nuclei.
(E and E′) TEM images of the surface of a St 10a FE. TC gaps indicated by red arrowheads. Scale bars: (E) 4μm, (E′) 1μm.
