Representative Syto-13 staining in M. edulis gills (a1, b1) and corresponding transmission images (a2, b2). a: gill filaments with a capture showing a detailed view of nuclei structures. Filaments are composed of 1-layer epithelial cells with oval nuclei (ecn) perpendicular to the filament longitudinal axis. Note the muscle cells in the innermost areas of the filament with elongated nuclei (mcn) oriented parallel to the central blood sinus. b: Syto-13 staining of the ventral bend area of the gill with mucus-filled vacuoles (arrows). Scale bars = 50 μm
