FIG. 3. Organization of muscle fiber types in tadpole tail, Tails from stage 41 embryos were fixed, permeablised, and stained with either phalloidin or the PV antibody. (A) The tail in longitudinal section in phase-contrast, the hindportion of the brain is labeled (Br). (B) The same section stained for PV immunofluorescence. (C) PV-stained whole mount of a strip of fibers teased from the caudal portion of stage 41 tadpole tail. (D) Phase-contrast micrograph of a comparable tail strip; the black dots are melanocytes. (E) Rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin staining of a tail strip. (F) PV immunoflourescence staining of s Image published in: Schwartz LM and Kay BK (1988) Copyright © 1988.
