Cell division. Confocal light micrograph of a dividing cell. The mitotic spindle (green,centre) functions to separate the split chromosomes (chromatids),moving one set into each daughter cell. The structure has been made visible by fluorescently-labelled antibodies to microtubulin,a protein of the spindle and cytoskeleton. Protein from the Golgi apparatus,a network of vesicles involved in processing and transporting cellular products,is labelled purple. A confocal microscope detects light only from the focal point of its objective lens,allowing images of thin sections of an intact specimen to be obtained. Magnification unknown | |
