TEM of larval midgut after 4 h YEOO LC90 exposure (4 h after ingestion of YEOO). a Complete loss in microvilli (#), increased vacuolization within epithelia cytosol and no YEOO cells visible within peritrophic space. b Greater detail of the apical portion of epithelial midgut cells showing complete loss of microvilli and blebbing (#), uncharacteristic cell junction (arrowhead), yet intact PM2 (PM). d, e Basal lamina (b) of epithelial cell displaying increased vacuolization, blebbing of the nucleus (n), fragmentation of the nuclear membrane (dashed arrow) and abnormal or irregularly shaped mitochondria (m)
