Diagram of the structure of adult Drosophila ommatidium and the localization pattern of key structural proteins. (A) Vertical-section view of the photoreceptor cells in a Drosophila ommatidium. (B) Cross-section view of the photoreceptor cells in a Drosophila ommatidium. Position of cross section is denoted by the dotted line in (A). (C) A magnified view of the highlighted area of (B) showing the localization pattern of key proteins involved in IRS formation and expansion. EYS: Eyes shut, Prom: Prominin, Chp: Chaoptin, Crb: Crumbs, MyoII: non-muscle Myosin II.
