False-colour TEM of root cell division
False-colour transmission electron micrograph of a late stage of cell division in the root tip cell (meristem) of Zea mays, maize. The micrograph shows the telophase stage of mitosis where the daughter nuclei (red and green bodies) are reforming into membrane bound organelles. The membrane is not complete yet. Between the two forming nuclei is the developing cell wall, which is constructed by the coalescence of vesicles in a line: in places the vesicle structure of the wall is still visible. The dark blue bodies are cell vacuoles. Magnification: x2400 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph of a late stage of cell division in the root tip cell (meristem) of Zea mays, commonly known as maize. The image captures the telophase stage of mitosis, where daughter nuclei are reforming into membrane-bound organelles. The mesmerizing red and green bodies represent these developing nuclei, still enclosed by an incomplete membrane. What truly fascinates in this micrograph is the intricate process taking place between the two forming nuclei: the construction of a developing cell wall. This remarkable phenomenon occurs through the coalescence of vesicles in a line, with remnants of their structure still visible in certain areas. Additionally, scattered throughout the image are dark blue bodies representing cell vacuoles. With a magnification level set at x2400 and printed on a 6x4.5cm size format, this photograph offers an unprecedented glimpse into plant cellular biology. It sheds light on essential aspects such as cytokinesis, mitosis stages like telophase, chromosome behavior during division, and even botanical science related to plant structures. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's marvels with precision and artistry through this extraordinary representation of root cell division in maize.
