Pro-Resilin-GFP is present in the bristle socket. Pro-Resilin-GFP (red signal, a and c) marks the socket of bristles (br) in abdominal tergites (at, bright-filed image shown in b). Autofluorescence (blue signal, a and d) excited by a 355 nm light source, possibly corresponding to the presence of DT, is also detected in the bristle sockets. The pleural membrane (pm) displays a strong autofluorescence under these conditions; therefore, presence of DT is uncertain. Signals were detected on a Leica DMi8 microscope. The excitation (ex) and emission (em) wavelengths are indicated in the images. Details of the microscope settings are described in the “Methods” section. Labelling: at, abdomnal tergite; br, bristle; pm, pleural membrane
