Wow! Looking for an answer to this

Agree.
There are also these T2’s, that have much less twigs at the outer part of the axon, while the Fischbach’s paper shows both T2 and T2a to have two proportional arborings (with another small arborization in the middle of T2’s axon).

I only have one T2 identified in my farm so far which is on a different area of the optic lobe, but it definitely seems different from the types you have too. It’s possible that the structure varies depending on the area of the lobe/eye?

Wow Krzystof you said almost exactly what Emil Kind did!

@annkri “Fischbach described T2 and T2a (no clue why it’s not T2a And T2b). I guess the blue ones are T2 and the red and green ones are T2a. I don’t think that the green ones are their own type. I have seen this “overshooting” of axons on multiple occasions and I always considered it a development phenomenon.”
