Scanning electron microscopy is the method of choice to visualize the surface structures of animals, fungi, plants, or inorganic objects at the highest resolution and often with impressive appeal. Numerous scanning electron microscope (SEM) images exist of Drosophila melanogaster, one of the most important model organisms in genetics and developmental biology, which have been taken partly for esthetics and often to solve scientific questions. Our work presents a collection of images comprising many prominent anatomical details of D. melanogaster in excellent quality to create a research and teaching resource for all Drosophilists.
扫描电子显微镜是观察动物、真菌、植物或无机物体表面结构的首选方法，能够实现最高分辨率，并且通常具有令人印象深刻的吸引力。黑腹果蝇（Drosophila melanogaster）是遗传学和发育生物学中最重要的模式生物之一，已经有许多关于它的扫描电子显微镜（SEM）图像，这些图像部分是出于美学目的，而常常是为了解决科学问题。我们的工作提供了一组图像，这些图像包含了黑腹果蝇许多显著的解剖细节，质量非常好，为所有果蝇研究者创建了一个研究和教学资源。
