Movies of Drosophila development

(All movies will open in new window. Close the movie window to return to this page.)

  • 3-D reconstruction of peripodial cell translumenal extensions. (245 KB)
    Here, a peripodial-specific Gal4 drives tau-GFP expression (Gibson and Schubiger, 2000).

  • Time lapse movie of early Drosophila embryo cell cycles. (27 MB)
    The non-transparency of the early Drosophila embryos makes it difficult to image the earliest cell cycles.

  • Time lapse movie of early Drosophila embryo cell cycles using two-photon microscopy. (48 MB)
    GFP-tagged histone allows us to analyse nuclear movement as early as cycle 4.



    Injecting flies

    In these films from ~1970, Gerold teaches how to culture imaginal discs in fly hosts.

  • Setting up the injection apparatus, part I (4 MB)

  • Setting up the injection apparatus, part II (4 MB)

  • Injecting the flies (7 MB)
