Fig. 3From: Fine structural characteristics of the chorionic microspheres on the egg surface of the orb web spider Trichonephila clavataAdhesive chorion surface. A Treated with EtOH, the chorion with sticky coating is peeled off. B Partially peeled off chorion on the egg shows that microspheres are attached only above the surface. C Old chorion has reduced adhesiveness and lost some microspheres. All arrows indicate internal surfaces of the egg chorion and arrowhead indicates external surface of the egg chorion. Each scale bar indicates 50 µm (A) and 20 µm (B) and 10 µm (C), respectivelyBack to article page
