Early stage P1 pupa. Overview (A) and detailed images of different optical sections (B - E) of the midgut of a C. floridanus pupa (P1) prior to excretion of the meconium by confocal laser scanning microscopy (for further information regarding the composition of the figure see legend of Fig. 1). The distribution of bacteriocytes resembles that of L2 larvae shown in Fig. 2. Green label: The Blochmannia specific probe Bfl172-FITC; red label: SYTO Orange 83. The scale bars correspond to 220 μM (A) and 35 μM (B - E), respectively.
