Dissection and Immunolabeling of the Central and Peripheral Nervous System ofDrosophilaLarvae

The ability to visualize the cells and proteins of a tissue within their original context (i.e., in vivo) is invaluable for the study of that biological system. Visualization is especially important in tissues with complex and convoluted structures, such as the neurons and glia of the nervous system. The central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS, respectively) of the third-instar larvae of the fruit fly,
