The time-lapse movie made in 1974 shows meiosis in spermatocytes of Chrysochraon japonicas (grasshopper) as seen with the polarizing microscope. The principal birefringent components are the spindle m...

Movie of portion of a hypermastigote symbiont from the hindgut of a wood eating cockroach. The rootlets and flagella are birefringent and the beating flagella are clearly seen with the polarizing micr...

The movie shows the wave-like effect of compensated birefringence caused by rotating spirochetes attached to the surface of a hypermastigote protozoan. The image was obtained using a rectified polariz...

Time series of meiosis I, starting at metaphase, in primary spermatocytes of the crane-fly Nephrotoma suturalis that have been experimentally flattened. Time-lapse polarization microscopy using a Nik...

The events of meiosis I in a living insect spermatocyte beginning at metaphase I with bivalents at the spindle equator followed by anaphase, segregation of half-bivalents diakinesis and commencement o...

Time lapse movie showing mitosis and cleavage in fertilized eggs of the jellyfish Halistaura cellularia. The use of polarizing microscopy reveals the mitotic spindles, which are seen in bright or dar...

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, ...

The movie shows the rhythmic movement of the termite flagellate Pyrsonympha, a symbiont that lives in the hindgut. The motile structure is a complex of ~2,000 aligned microtubules, the axostyle which ...

The events of meiosis I in a living insect spermatocyte beginning at diakinesis through telophase to the near completion of cytokinesis. Testes from the Crane fly Nephrotoma suturalis were observed wi...

The events of meiosis I in a living insect spermatocyte beginning at metaphase with meiotic bivalents at the spindle equator followed by anaphase , segregation of bivalents to the spindle poles and t...
