The collection contains images of temporary preparations of the whole animals and thin sections. The preparations were immunostained for nervous elements containing serotonin, FMRFamide, substance P and alpha-tubulin and stained histochemically for cholinergic and catecholaminergic nervous elements and by phalloidin for muscles. The collection includes images of the central and peripheral nervous systems and neuromuscular interactions in representatives of different classes of parasitic flatworms at different stages of development. The images were taken by brightfield light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The images are kept on the server of the Zoological Institute RAS (Laboratory of Evolutionary Morphology) and are available from the authors. |
Nervous elements containing the neurotransmitter substance P (green) and the musculature (orange) of a 22-day-old metacercaria of Diplostomum pseudospathaceum.
