Figure 2

(a) Examples of larval H3 HCs transiently expressing fluorescent protein in the background of Tg(sws1:GFP; sws2:mCherry). Shown are maximum intensity projections or orthogonal views through a small part of the arbour. Insets in top view panels show higher magnifications of dendritic tips invaginating into a cone pedicle. Open circles map the locations of dendritic tips that contacted ultraviolet or blue cones in the double transgenic line (magenta or blue circles respectively), as judged from 3D reconstructions of the cell and its surrounding cones. Some tips (orange circles, undefined) could not be assigned to either ultraviolet or blue cones. Scale bars, 5 μm. (b) Population data showing the mean number of ultraviolet or blue cone-associated tips and undefined tips made by H3 HCs in the background of Tg(sws1:GFP; sws2:mCherry) fish. Each open circle represents one cell. n=6 for 3.5 d.p.f., n=9 for 4.5 d.p.f., n=12 for 5.5 d.p.f., n=8 for 10 d.p.f. Error bars are s.e.m.
