Serial Electron Microscopic Reconstruction of the Drosophila Larval Eye: Photoreceptors with a Rudimentary Rhabdomere of Microvillar-Like Processes

Photoreceptor cells (PRCs) across the animal kingdom are characterized by a stacking of apical membranes to accommodate the high abundance of photopigment. In arthropods and many other invertebrate phyla PRC membrane stacks adopt the shape of densely packed microvilli that form a structure called rh...
