An Ultrastructural and Fluorescent Study of the Teratocytes of Microctonus aethiopoides Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from the Hemocoel of Host Alfalfa Weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Figure 4
Semithin sections of teratocytes were dual-stained with NBDC6 for Golgi apparatus and Lysotracker for lysosomes. (a) Transmitted light micrograph of teratocyte showing internal structure of the cell. (b) Same cell section stained with NBDC6 showing strong staining of the Golgi distributed mostly around the periphery of the nucleus. (c) Same section stained with Lysotracker showing distribution of lysosomes (red) within the teratocyte. (d) Overlaid images of (a)–(c) showing Golgi around nucleus. G: Golgi apparatus, L: lysosomes. Scale bars = 20 μm.
