The new chain of lives. Immunofluorescence of Drosophila ovarioles showing egg chambers at various stages in time, from a young stem cell on the left to more matured egg chambers on the right. Notice how the change in shape is a dynamic process. Cy3 (green) reveals the expression of a polarity protein, nuclei are stained with DAPI (red). The image was acquired using a Zeiss LSM 700 confocal microscope with a 20x objective.
