Dividing cell
Dividing cell. Differential interference contrast (DIC) light micrograph of a cell (lower left) in the metaphase stage of mitosis (cell division). The cells nuclei are stained with fluorescent dye. The non-dividing cell nuclei are blue. In the dividing cell, the genetic material (chromosomes) is red. During metaphase, the chromosomes (which contain DNA) form this line (the metaphase plate). They will be dragged apart (left and right) by structures called microtubules (not stained here). This will form the two genetically identical daughter cells that are the end product of mitosis. These are PtK1 epithelial kidney cells. Magnification: x670 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dividing cell in the metaphase stage of mitosis, captured using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy. The lower left corner reveals a single cell with its nuclei stained using fluorescent dye. While the non-dividing cell nuclei appear as serene blue orbs, the genetic material within the dividing cell is depicted in striking red hues. During metaphase, chromosomes containing vital DNA molecules align along an imaginary line known as the metaphase plate. These chromosomes will soon be separated by microtubules, unseen in this image but responsible for pulling them apart towards opposite ends of the cell. This intricate process ultimately leads to the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells that are essential for growth and repair within our bodies. The photographed cells belong to PtK1 epithelial kidney cells, offering us a glimpse into their complex reproductive mechanisms at an astonishing magnification of x670 when printed 10cm wide. The use of immunofluorescent techniques allows scientists to visualize specific cellular components and better understand crucial processes such as replication and karyokinesis. This mesmerizing image serves as a testament to both the beauty and complexity found within our own bodies, highlighting how microscopic events like mitotic division play integral roles in maintaining life's delicate balance.
