This is one of 4 grouped time lapse movies (CIL 11958-11962) revealing the responses of a meiotic oocyte spindle to various forms of micromanipulation by a glass microneedle. The needle is inserted, ...

How the cell cytoplasm is spatially organized is of fundamental interest. In ordinary animal cells the cytoplasm is organized by a radial array of microtubules, called an aster. Aster microtubules are...

Adult Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) nematode imaged by DIC (differential interference contrast) microscopy. The angle of light allows for the visualization of many of the tissues in this living ...

Transmission electron micrographs showing annulate lamellae from a frog oocyte. Annulate lamellae consist of stacked sheets of membrane containing closely packed structures resembling nuclear pores a...

Meiotic newt oocyte nuclei were allowed to disperse in 30 mM KCl/NaCl, centrifuged through 2% formaldehyde onto an EM grid, stained with uranyl acetate, and critical point dried. Grids were examined ...

Transmission electron micrograph of stacked annulate lamellae from the oocyte of the sea urchin Arbacia. Annulate lamellae consist of sheets of membrane containing closely packed structures resemblin...

Fluorescent image of a mouse oocyte labeled with an antibody to tubulin, which is shown localized in the cortex of the oocyte. The sample was fixed in paraformaldehyde for subsequent immunolabeling wi...
