Mitosis, TEM

Mitosis, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Longitudinal section through a human T cell in metaphase. During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus. At metaphase, the chromosomes (green) are arranged in a plane at the cell centre. They are held in place by microtubules (brown) attached to the centre (centromere) of each chromosome. Chromosomes are made up of two identical sister chromatids, which are separated into the two daughter nuclei, so that each daughter cell retains the parent cells genetic information

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of mitosis in a human T cell. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are presented with a longitudinal section through the cell during metaphase, a crucial stage of cell division. The image reveals the mesmerizing sight of two daughter nuclei being formed from one parent nucleus. At metaphase, the chromosomes take center stage as they arrange themselves in a plane at the heart of the cell. Microtubules, depicted in brown, play an essential role by attaching to each chromosome's centromere and holding them firmly in place. Each chromosome is composed of two identical sister chromatids that will eventually be separated into the two daughter cells. This ensures that both new cells retain their genetic information inherited from their parent cell. The circular shape and vibrant green coloration highlight the beauty and complexity found within our own biology. Through this TEM image, we gain insight into how our bodies replicate and divide on a microscopic level. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous event in cellular biology, providing us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into mitosis - an integral process for growth, development, and maintenance within our remarkable human body.
