Microcomputed tomography (μ-CT) as a whole fly phenotyping tool
An adult female is shown in 3D and digitally sliced along the XZ and YZ axes to reveal all intact internal structures. Each organ is then sequentially highlighted in color, beginning with anterior structures. The non-destructive nature of the technique permits high resolution imaging at any developmental stage, preserving the spatial architecture of all organs. This makes μ-CT a powerful tool for unbiased characterization of developmental defects and a deeper understanding of inter-organ relationships.
