Ultrastructure of the ommatrichia in Megaselia scalaris (Loew) (Diptera: Phoridae)

Using both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the ommatrichia, or hair-like processes that are located between the facets of the compound eye, were examined on an adult male Megaselia scalaris (Loew) fly. Each ommatrichium was observed to be a tapering str...
