Results
The 2 mL treatment included two wing
discs (fig. 6, 7). By 2 hours, wing eversion is clearly
visible (fig. 13, 14). After 24 hours, further eversion was
observed (fig 19-21).
The 5 mL treatment included a pair of
leg discs (fig. 8). After 2 hours of exposure, the tips of
the discs appear to protrude further out than initially at 0
hours (fig. 15). After 24 hours of exposure, additional
eversion of the legs has taken place (fig. 22).
The 8 mL treatment included a wing,
eye, and leg disc (fig. 9-11). The leg disc has everted
noticeably by 2 hours (fig. 16), while the eye disc did not
change in appearance (fig. 17) (an image of the wing disc at
2 hours was not obtained due to technician oversight).
However after 24 hours, the wing, eye, and leg discs have
everted dramatically (fig. 23-25).
The control treatment (ethanol) discs
showed no dramatic change in appearance during the 24-hour
period as expected (fig 12, 18, 26).
