Drosophila melanogaster (w1118) were subjected to blue light stress at different ages (1, 3 or 6 days post-eclosion) and retinal degeneration and intracellular membrane expansion was examined using electron microscopy. These electron microscopy images were used to generate Figure 3 in Chen et al. (2017), and full details citing this study are provided in the accompanying series. These images are from biological replicates 1 and 2, and the final images used in the study (Fig. 3A).

Electron microscopy images (.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.
