fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and super resolution microscopy,
will be added to the routine repertoire of developmental biologists using C. elegans
to study morphogenesis.

The author is grateful to T. Walston (Truman State University) and Paul Heid for permission to adapt a
previously published protocol for agar mounts and Nomarski microscopy, E.A. Cox (SUNY Geneseo), A.
Lynch, and S. Maiden for permission to adapt their protocols for phalloidin staining, and P. Sims for
permission to adapt previously described protocols for F-TEM. M. Sheffield, T. Loveless, and R. Zaidel-
Bar kindly provided additional images. This work was supported by NIH grant GM58038.
