Drosophila illustration pack (39 illustrations)

Drosophila is a Sciicons Pro illustration pack of 39 original, scientifically accurate illustrations. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster for papers, posters and teaching: adult male and female, head, compound eye, wing veins and bristles, the life cycle, embryo stages and patterning, larval instars, pupa and imaginal discs, classic markers (white, Curly, Stubble, vestigial, ebony, yellow), polytene and mitotic chromosomes, balancers, P-elements, GAL4/UAS, crosses and the fly-pushing bench.

Flat, minimal illustrations on a 512 × 512 canvas with one shared palette: tan body, red compound eyes, dark tergite bands, translucent wings. Wings show veins L1–L5 with both crossveins, the life cycle takes about 10 days at 25 °C, and every part sits in a named group (for example wings, eyes, abdomen, bristles, germband) so Recolor and Edit can target it.

Topics: drosophila, drosophila melanogaster, fruit fly, model organism, fly genetics, developmental biology, adult fly, compound eye, ommatidia, wing veins, bristles, sex comb, life cycle, egg, embryo, blastoderm, gastrulation, germband, bicoid, even-skipped, larva, instar, pupa, imaginal disc, wing disc, white eye, curly, stubble, vestigial, ebony, yellow, polytene chromosomes, karyotype, balancer, cyo, p-element, gal4, uas, genetic cross, fly vial, fly bottle, co2 pad, embryo collection.
