Fig. 5. In situ hybridisation of cryosections (0.7 µm thick) of the anterior sternal epithelium (ASE) of Porcellio scaber in three different moulting stages (A–D, early premoult; E,F, late premoult; G,H, intramoult) with specific biotinylated probes for SERCA mRNA. (A,B,E,G) Phase contrast micrographs; (C,D,F,H) corresponding fluorescence micrographs. cl, cuticle, n, nucleus. Scale bars, 10 µm. Broken lines in A–D outline the ASE.
