Figure 3 in Larvicidal, and cytoxicity of Lepidium sativum L. seed extract against Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae)

Figure 3. Photomicrographs of midguts of Cx. pipiens larvae demonstrating: (Chouin-Carneiro et al., 2016). Longitudinal sections in the midguts (MG) of control larvae with normal and healthy epithelial cells (Ec), microvilli (Mv), nuclei (n), and regenerative cells (Rc). Notice absence of the lesions. H&E stain. (C-D): Longitudinal sections in midguts of AzE-treated larvae, with blebbing (Bc) and protruding (Pc) of the epithelial cells into the lumen (Lu) of midgut of the larvae and degraded microvilli (DMv). H&E stain.
