Confocal Microscopy of Fruit Fly Embryogenesis
Visualization of PRL-1, a protein involved in metastasis, during Drosophila embryogenesis. These images were obtained on our Nikon D-Eclipse C1 Confocal Microscope and taken by Krystle Pagarigan who graduated in 2011. After graduation Krystle worked as a research technician here at Puget Sound and at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
