Fig. 6. Confocal microscope pictures showing coelomocytes and cells from coelomic
epithelium explants of A. rubens and FITC-labelled yeast (green).
(A–D) Different shapes of cells released by coelomic epithelium explant.
(E,F) Different shapes of phagocytes in the coelomic fluid. Cells in B show
high similarity to the phagocytes shown in E, and D shows high similarity to
F. (G,H) Evidence of phagocytosis (G shows cells from the explant; H shows a
cell from coelomic fluid). (I) Cluster of phagocytes at high density. Scale
bars, 25 µm. (Supplementary material includes movies on phagocytic
behaviour of cells from coelomocytes and from coelomic epithelium.)
