The medusa of Clytia hemisphaerica (a) ~3 week old animal Scale bar = 1 mm (b) Schematic depiction of Clytia medusa. The basement membrane underlying the exumbrella epithelial cells is represented by a purple line - basement membranes associated with subumbrella epithelia and endodermal epithelial cells are not shown. c DIC image of the surface of the exumbrella in a live medusa Scale bar = 100 μm. d Transmission electron micrograph of a section through the exumbrella epithelial sheet in a 1 day old animal, showing part of a cell and the underlying basement membrane and mesoglea. A layer of material covering the surface of the medusa can also be seen. Scale bar = 0.2 μm
