Light Microscopy Data

Light Microscopy Data available on Virtual Fly Brain.

Virtual Fly Brain brings together data from multiple Light Microscopy (LM) resources, providing access to visualisations of driver (including split) expression patterns.

1 - Janelia FlyLight

The FlyLight Project produces large anatomical data sets and highly characterized collections of GAL4, LexA and Split-GAL4 drivers in order to enable the visualization and precise manipulation of individual cell types in the Drosophila nervous system.

Introduction

FlyLight makes its primary data available via VFB as well as through dedicated websites for expression patterns of Generation 1 GAL4 and LexA lines and for split-GAL4 lines. Generation 1, split hemidriver, and stable split combination lines are available primarily from the Bloomington Stock Center. Stable split lines can also be requested via the split-GAL4 website.

FlyLight Data and Resources

FlyLight data is integrated and indexed on VFB and direct linkouts are provided from the Term Info tabs to the original images. VFB hosts the original larval images here. External links to the original collections of adult images are provided below:

Generation 1 GAL4 expression patterns

Generation 1 MCFO (single neuron) patterns

Split-GAL4 Expression Patterns

Janelia Raw Image Collection

Light and EM neurons can also be searched for on NeuronBridge
