early ommatidial precursor cluster
ID: FBbt_00007144
Anatomy Larva
An ommatidial precursor cluster containing five photoreceptor precursor cells (R2-5 and R8) and 1-2 mystery cells. The definitive five-cell ommatidial precluster is formed when these mystery cells are expelled from this structure and join the surrounding undifferentiated epithelium. (Wolff and Ready, 1993)
