Figs. 307 & 308 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). In interphase cells, microtubules commonly radiate from the centrosome, and in dividing cells the microtubules of the mitotic spindle conver...

Fluorescent micrograph showing the mitotic spindle, which is composed of microtubules. During cell division the chromosomes duplicate and are pulled to opposite poles by the spindle, once the chromoso...

16-cell purple urchin embryo expressing three tandem GFPs fused to the ensconsin microtubule-binding domain (EMTB-3G; Faire et al., 1999). The embryo was treated with 40 µM trichostatin A (TSA), an ...

This sequence taken with the polarizing microscope in 1967 shows the reversible enhancement of spindle volume and birefringence by heavy water in arrested metaphase oocyte of Pectinaria gouldi (ice cr...

The events of meiosis I in a living insect spermatocyte beginning at metaphase with bivalents at the spindle equator, followed by anaphase onset, chromosome segregation and the start of cytokinesis. T...

Shown is a fluorescence microscopy image of a HeLa cell at mitotic metaphase. The cell is stained to reveal DNA (blue), microtubules (red), and the C-terminal portion of the KIF2A protein (green) whi...

Time series images showing the dynamics of kinetchore microtubules during meiosis I in primary spermatocytes of the crane-fly Nephrotoma suturalis that were experimentally flattened. Time-lapse polari...

Cell of the DT40 chicken B lymphocyte line at metaphase. Z-series of widefield immunofluorescence images captured using a 100x/1.4NA planapo objective lens on a Deltavision system and deconvolved wit...

Time series images showing the dynamics of kinetchore microtubules during meiosis I in primary spermatocytes of the crane-fly Nephrotoma suturalis that were experimentally flattened. Time-lapse polari...

Pig epithelial (LLC-PK1) cells undergoing mitosis. Image shows microtubules (green) and chromosomes (purple) and was collected using a spinning disk confocal and deconvolution microscopy. Honorable M...
