External morphology of fully developed pleuropodia in embryos of a locust Schistocerca gregaria. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show pleuropodia that have just reached final cellular differentiation, stage 8 days in Fig. 2. (a) Whole embryo, yolk was removed. (b) Enlarged left pleuropodium. (c) Cross section through A1. Pleuropodium is marked with an arrow. A1, the first abdominal segment; h, head; L3, hind (third) leg; y, yolk. Scale bars: in (a), 1 mm; in (b), 100 μm; in (c); 500 μm
