Drosophila is a powerful model to understand fundamental mechanisms of myogenesis. This protocol for the dissection and preparation of thorax hemi-sections enables microscopy analysis of indirect flight muscle from both pupal and adult stages. This protocol enables confocal imaging of cellular morphology, protein localization, muscle structure, and multiple other aspects of myogenesis.
