This HeLa cell is expressing two fluorescent proteins, including EGFP-CENP-B, a fluorescent protein that marks kinetochores (seen as paired dots oriented parallel to the x-axis and attached to opposit...

In this HeLa cell, which is expressing both a kinetochore marker (EGFP-CENP-B) and a centrosome marker (Venus-centrin), one can visualize the dynamic nature of kinetochore movements during metaphase a...

Figs. 305 & 306 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12: Centrioles show a cross section though centrioles. The radially symmetrical periodic structures were intensified by rotating and averaging the images. Th...

Figs. 311 & 312 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). In ciliogenesis, newly formed single centrioles, serving as basal bodies, are arranged in rows and oriented perpendicular to the cell surfac...

An electron micrograph showing that a centriole is constructed from a ring of nine triplet microtubules. Most animal cells contain two to four centrioles. In longitudinal view, a centriole looks like ...
