Caption
High speed exposure of a Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) taken through a microscope. In this image flight muscles express a genetically engineered protein called GCaMP, which fluoresces green in the presence of calcium ions. Because the concentration of calcium increases in muscles as they are activated, the fluorescence provides a direct measurement of the muscle activity.
