DAPI stained images and stills from time-lapse imaging of Stages 0 to 3. DAPI-stained images of stages 0 to 3 (A–D). Stills from time-lapse imaging (B′ and D′). A Stage 0, no nucleus visible. B, B′ Stage 1: early nuclear/energid division within the yolk (red arrowhead in B). Energid division at this stage appears to be synchronous. C Stage 2: nuclei have migrated to the periphery of the egg. D, D′ Stage 3: asynchronous nuclear division. The energids with red asterisks are dividing while the neighboring energids are not (see a zoomed image in insert). All the energids are connected and the periphery of the egg via thin stands (white arrowheads). Scale bars are 100 µm. st: stage
