Movie 4
Ventral cells divide at the same time as lateral cells. Germband cells expressing Gap43:mCherry during axis elongation acquired using dual-illumination, light sheet microscopy. Cyan arrow indicates first lateral division, red arrow shows first ventral division. A stack was acquired every 25 s. Anterior left, ventral down (top) or centre (bottom).
