Description
Differential interference contrast (DIC) light micrograph of cells during mitosis (nuclear division). Mitosis is the formation of two daughter nuclei from one parent nucleus. At left the cell is in prophase, the nuclear envelope is dissolving and the chromosomes (purple) are condensing. The cell progress through prometaphase (second from left) to metaphase (centre), where the chromosomes align along the centre of the cell. The chromosomes start to move to the opposite poles, guided by microtubules, during anaphase (second from right). At right, the cell is in telophase. The separated chromosomes have moved to opposite ends of the cell and two new nuclei form around them. Giemsa stain.
