This image for day 268 of #LMB365 shows the brain and some imaginal discs isolated from a Drosophila larva. Imaginal discs are sacks of cells that will develop into adult structures such as wings, legs and eyes during metamorphosis. The tissue was stained for GFP (green), Wingless (red) as well as DAPI (blue), which marks the nuclei.
