Figure 1

Observation of ingested fluorescent lectins binding midgut carbohydrates of E. variegatus by laser scanning microscopy. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue), and actin filaments were stained with Alexa 568-phalloidin (red). The FITC-lectins were colored in green. The fluorescent lectins used to stain the cells are indicated in each picture except for the control, where fluorescent lectin was omitted. amg anterior midgut, mmg middle midgut, pmg posterior midgut, fc filter chamber, mt Malpighian tubules. Arrowheads in panels DBA and PNA indicate the presence of fluorescence. Scale bar 100 µm.
