| This Atlas features several groups of color illustrations that follow the main events of embryogenesis and post-embryonic development of Drosophila. The following organs systems are considered: | |
| Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System Stomatogastric Nervous System Tracheal System Epidermis Gut and Annexes Early Mesoderm Development Somatic Musculature Visceral Musculature Fat Body Dorsal Vessel Reproductive Organs | Select image to enlarge in new window  | 
| The atlas was created by Volker Hartenstein to 
assist students of Drosophila biology in comprehending how the 
intricate body pattern of the fly gradually evolves during 
development.  This web-based version is presented in the
