Fig. 10. Ultrastructural analysis of NE and chromatin structures in the CNS of animals lacking the baf gene. Third instar larval of (A) baf¹/+ and(BE) baf¹/baf¹ CNS cell nuclei. (B) Two entire minimally distorted nuclei containing multiple abnormal chromatin clumps are shown. (C) NE folding (distortion) is illustrated in another nucleus. (D,E) Regions of the specimen in C shown at higher magnification, with specific chromatin features indicated by white arrowheads. Black arrowheads indicate nuclear pore complexes. Scale bars: 1 µm (A-C); 0.1 µm (D,E).
