Figure 1 Podocephalic glands in unfed larvaeL. maculatain sagittal sections. TEM. a – Nearly axial section showing two medial glands located one after another as well as pharynx and chelicera. Scale bar – 20 μm; b – Section slightly apart from the axial line showing medial glands and podocephalic canal.Arrow indicates long extensions of the duct-forming cells flanking lateral lacunas of the intra-alveolar lumen. Scale bar – 10 μm; c – Section through the region of the origin of leg I showing the lateral and the ventral glands as well as the terminal bladder of the coxal gland in a nearly collapsed condition. Scale bar – 20 μm. amg – anterior medial gland; bl – bladder; br – brain; ch – chelicera; hem – hemocyte; ial – intra-alveolar lumen; lg – lateral gland; legI – leg I; ms – muscles; pc – podocephalic canal; ph – pharynx; pmg – posterior medial gland; schs – subcheliceral space; vg – ventral gland.
