Haemocytes from larval to pre-pupal stages.

<p>(A) Figure contains phase contrast images of haemocytes from larval and pre-pupal life stages. In each instance, the captured cell shown proved to best represent the haemocytes at that particular life stage. (B) Haemocytes, from each life stage, were separated based upon there behaviour and morphology. Six classifications were determined by observing the most common attributes between the haemocytes from each life stage. This allowed cells to be placed into either, dynamic, static, normal spread, minor spread, non-polarised, and polarised cellular phenotypes. (C) Kymographs of haemocytes from each life stage were analysed to determine their retrograde flow, protrusion frequency, and general behaviour. The black line across each kymograph implies the base of each protrusion within the plasma-membrane region.
