Computer Simulation of Cellular Patterning Within the Drosophila Pupal Eye
Figure 3
Simulation of wild-type development.
(A) Image captured at 10,000 MCS exhibited numerous ectopic cells and few 3°s (arrows). Cell death has not yet been initiated. (B) Image from 11,000 MCS. Cell death has been initiated and there are fewer cells and more 3°s (arrows). (C) Image from 25,000 MCS. There are fewer cells and most central ommatidia have cells in the 3° locus (arrows). (D) Image from 50,000 MCS. There are a few extra 2°-like cells (•) and all central ommatidia show a complete complement of 3°s. Asterisk labels the ommatidium shown in inset with 3°s colored red.
