WASp is required for the correct temporal morphogenesis of rhabdomere microvilli [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2004 Microvilli are actin-based fingerlike membrane projections that form the basis of the brush border of enterocytes and the Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptor rhabdomere. Although many microvillar cytoskeletal components have been identified, the molecular basis of microvillus formation is largely undefined.

Body Size, Rather Than Male Eye Allometry, Explains Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Activity in Low Light [PDF]
, 2015 Male Chrysomya megacephala (F.) blow fly compound eyes contain an unusual area of enlarged dorsal facets believed to allow for increased light capture.

Calcium Transients in the Rhabdomeres of Dark- and Light-Adapted Fly Photoreceptor Cells [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2000 The light response of fly photoreceptor cells is modulated by changes in free Ca2+concentration. Fly phototransduction and most processes regulating it take place in or very close to the rhabdomere. We therefore measured the kinetics and the absolute values of the free Ca2+concentration in the rhabdomere of fly photoreceptor cellsin vivoby making use ...

Membrane-associated actin in the rhabdomeral microvilli of crayfish photoreceptors. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1984 Infiltration of compound eyes of crayfish, Cherax destructor, with the thiol protease inhibitor Ep-475 or with trifluoperazine prior to fixation for electron microscopy was found to stabilize an axial filament of 6-12 nm diam within each rhabdomeral microvillus of the photoreceptors.

In vivo tracking of phosphoinositides in Drosophila photoreceptors. [PDF]
, 2015 In order to monitor phosphoinositide turnover during phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated Drosophila phototransduction, fluorescently tagged lipid probes were expressed in photoreceptors and imaged both in dissociated cells, and in eyes of intact living flies.

Genetic Dissection of the Drosophila Nervous System by means of Mosaics [PDF]
, 1970 Given a mutant having abnormal behavior, the anatomical domain responsible for the deficit may be identified by the use of genetic mosaicism. Individuals may be produced in which a portion of the body is mutant male while the rest is normal female.

Biophysical modelling of a drosophila photoreceptor [PDF]
, 2009 It remains unclear how visual information is co-processed by different layers of neurons in the retina. In particular, relatively little is known how retina translates vast environmental light changes into neural responses of limited range.

Overexpressing temperature-sensitive dynamin decelerates phototransduction and bundles microtubules in drosophila photoreceptors [PDF]
