C. elegans with cell types color-coded
- Yellow – hypodermis, neurons, muscle, somatic gonads
- Orange – intestine
- Purple – germ line
C. elegans founder cells by type
This was published upon the completion of C. elegans cell lineage (Sulston et al, 1983, P. 90). According to development, the figure runs from top down with different cell types developed from their own mother cells.
C. elegans cell lineage color-coded
A representation that maps all the cell types to color. The colors of the cell types in this image match the worm image shown above.
Basic 4D Digital Microscopy Setup
This is the basic setup that researchers used to make the movies on this site. Image from DeVries, J.H., Thomas, C., White, J. (1996). Four-Dimensional Imaging: Computer Visualization of 3D Movements in Living Specimens. Science, 273, 603-607.
