Figure 2

Binding of FITC-labeled lectins to Artemia nauplii detected by fluorescence microscopy. The green color indicates the presence of FITC-labeled lectins in the digestive tract of the animal. (a) FITC-ConBr; (b) FITC-ConA; (c) FITC-ConBol; (d) FITC-ConM; (e) FITC-ConGF; and (f) FITC-BSA. The same images were also acquired in bright field without fluorescence excitation.
