Drosophila melanogaster (w1118) were subjected to blue light stress at different ages (1, 3 or 6 days post-eclosion) and retinal degeneration was assayed by immunostaining retinas for the rhabdomere markers phalloidin and Rh1. These original confocal microscopy images were used to generate Figure 1 in Chen et al. (2017), and full details citing this study are provided in the accompanying series.

File Information:

Confocal microscopy images (.lsm, .tif) can be opened using ImageJ or similar software. File names indicate the age, genotype, treatment and/or biological replicate as outlined in the text key files for each figure (Fig_key.txt). Quantified data are presented as csv files. The images used for quantification are provided in the Figure folder corresponding to the appropriate panel in each figure.
