Fluorescent Microscopy-Based Detection of Chitin in Intact Drosophila melanogaster

Chitin is the major scaffolding component of the insect cuticle. Ultrastructural analyses revealed that chitin adopts a quasi-crystalline structure building sheets of parallel running microfibrils. These sheets called laminae are stacked either helicoidally or with a preferred orientation of the mic...
