Figure 3

Micrographs of the ventral eversible gland (VEG) of Spodoptera exigua caterpillar. VEG treated with heat (A), Intact VEG – not treated with heat (B), Dead VEG due to heat treatment (ethidium homodimer-1 is well retained in dead VEG cells, producing a bright red fluorescence (C), and Intact VEG polyanionic dye calcein is well retained in live VEG cells, producing an intense uniform green fluorescence (D). Magnification = 250X.
