High voltage (1MeV) transmission electron microscopy image of an isolated metaphase chromatid pair from a mouse A9 fibroblast, showing the fiber-like structure.
Cells in metaphase were exposed to 75 mM KCl, spread on water, picked up on grids, stained with uranyl acetate and critical point dried. See also: H.
