<p>Confocal immunofluorescence images of neuromuscular synapses as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0129957#pone.0129957.g001" target="_blank">Fig 1</a>. Fine terminal axon branches making synaptic contacts on coxal muscles in the leg (<b>A-C</b>) and the tergotrochanteral muscle (TTM) in the thorax (<b>D-F</b>) exhibit close association with glial processes as observed at DLM neuromuscular synapses.</p>
