Abstract excerpt
We studied the structure of ocellar photoreceptor cells of Drosophila melanogaster, particularly the subrhabdomeric cisternae which our previous studies have shown to be essential structures for turnover of photoreceptive membranes in compound eyes. Each ocellus contained elongated photoreceptor cells with rhabdomeres positioned distally. In the subrhabdomeric regions, endocytotic invaginations were frequently...
