Description
False-colour scanning electron micrograph of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The specimen is a White Miniature Fork mutant. Drosophila are used widely for genetic experiments, particularly on mutation, because it is easy to raise in large numbers & reproduces rapidly. For a comparison with a normal specimen, see Z340/206. Mutations shown here include wing size & shape, the white eyes, & the bristles. The wings on a normal fly are longer, extending beyond the end of the body, & fold over the abdomen when at rest. The bristles (setae) on the body are shorter in the mutant & many are distorted, either curled or forked. Magnification: x10 at 35mm, x20 at 6x6cm size.
