Top 2 panels. Graphic rendition of positions of hypodermal and arcade cell nuclei along the head. Nuclei positions were deduced from N2T TEM sections (print numbers are indicated along a ruler above and below the left and right side images respectively). Dark green ovals indicate head muscle nuclei (only four of the body wall muscle nuclei are shown). Two of the dorsal hyp 6 and hyp 7 nuclei are not shown. Bottom panel. Epifluorescent images of a transgenic animal expressing a hypodermal reporter, left lateral view. Left panel shows medial plane hypodermal nuclei, middle panel shows superficial (lateral) plane hypodermal nuclei and right panel shows overlay of the two panels.
