Distinguishing left and right wings in *Drosophila melanogaster*, wings in prepared slides
Dear Colleagues: I have numerous prepared microscope slides of body parts of mostly *Drosophila melanogaster* (one fly per slide). While I can distinguish left from right 3rd pair of legs, I cannot (yet) distinguish left vs right wings. If you know of any 100% reliable trait of the wings that could help me assign dorsal vs. ventral, of course, I will be able to tell left from right. If you have any constructive suggestion, please email me directly ( blayjo...@gmail.com). In gratefulness for any illumination, sincerely, Jorge P.S. In retrospect, of course, I should have placed the left wing facing up and to the left of the right wing and labeled them. Apologies if you receive duplicate emails. -- Jorge A.
