Fine Art Print : Mitosis, light micrograph
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Mitosis, light micrograph
Mitosis. Confocal light micrograph of the stages of mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cell division). During mitosis the nuclear envelope disintegrates (3rd image) and the chromosomes (blue), which are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), line up along the centre of the cell (4th image). Microtubules (red) attach to the chromosomes and pull them apart to opposite poles of the cell (5th image). The nucleus reforms and the cell begins to divide into two (last two images). This process is completed during cytokinesis to form two daughter cells. Magnification: x500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of mitosis, captured through a confocal light micrograph. The image depicts the various stages of nuclear division and cell division, known as cytokinesis. As the third image reveals, the nuclear envelope disintegrates while in the fourth image, chromosomes (blue) composed of DNA align along the center of the cell. Fascinatingly, microtubules (red) can be observed attaching to these chromosomes in the fifth image and pulling them apart towards opposite poles of the cell. Gradually, as shown in subsequent images, the nucleus reforms and initiates cell division into two daughter cells. With a magnification level of x500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers an up-close view into this crucial biological phenomenon. It highlights how cells undergo segregation and separation during mitosis while emphasizing key elements such as nuclear furrow formation and chromosome movement. The significance of this process extends beyond mere cellular replication; it plays a vital role in growth, development, repair, and reproduction within living organisms. Through this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library's expertise in cytology and immunofluorescent techniques with light microscopy technology—this print serves as a testament to their commitment to scientific exploration.
