Description

Confocal micrograph of an intact Drosophila larva imaged through the translucent cuticle showing the innervation of the dorsal (towards the back) muscle fibres by motor nerves. The muscles have been genetically engineered to express green fluorescent protein (GFP). The nerves express a red fluorescence protein (RFP), and the neuromuscular junctions are shown in yellow.
