ALT On the left is a schematic of the Drosophila germband epithelium during germband extension, shown as an oval shape with a region along the bottom and right-hand side colored in green. In the center is a schematic of the germband epithelial tissue, shown as a grid of gray rectangular prisms with rounded tops depicting cells, with example confocal images of cell shapes at apical and basolateral positions in the germband to the right. On the far right is a schematic of an apical-basal axis mapped onto a single cell with z=0 set at the apical surface.
