Real-Time In Vivo Imaging of Butterfly Wing Development: Revealing the Cellular Dynamics of the Pupal Wing Tissue
Figure 9
Ontogeny of the pigment deposition process at the whole-wing level.
Real time points are shown along with the playing time points from Movie S1 (in parentheses). (a) Changes in the whole wing. The background black coloration emerges at the center of the wing (indicated by an arrow at 150 h). (b) High-magnification images of the eyespot. The red ring is produced first, and the black ring is produced at a single location at 150 h (indicated by an arrow). The black ring then develops around the red ring. Later, the width of the black ring expands considerably.
