embryonic/larval copper cell [FBbt_00001887]

Specialized cell of the larval midgut. It secretes acid and accumulates copper. It shows a distinct apical invagination, with an opening to the lumen. The invagination is flask shaped in the posteriormost copper cells with a narrow opening, while anteriormost copper cells are beaker shaped and their opening to the lumen is larger.
