Color Code for “Vulva Series 8, Animal 1” from MRC

Prints are dated August 1990 and run from print #1 to print # 250

Interpreted by DHH, May 2006, cf. MRC Green Notebook #2         

 

Proximal gonad shows the gonad sheath cell pairs #4 and #5 here. Spermathecal cells are immature, and the spermathecal valve is still blocked by two core cells.   No sperm have entered the spermatheca yet.  Instead, four large maturing spermatocytes lie inside the gonad sheath.
