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

Discover the intricacies of cellular life with our captivating Media Storehouse Poster Prints. This particular print showcases a stunning Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) micrograph of a cell in the metaphase stage of mitosis, captured by Science Photo Library. Witness the mesmerizing sight of a dividing cell, with its nuclei beautifully stained with fluorescent dye. Bring the wonders of science into your home or office with our high-quality, vibrant poster prints. Experience the beauty of the natural world up close and personal.
Premium quality poster prints are printed on luxurious semi-gloss satin 270 gsm paper. Our meticulously crafted poster prints offer an affordable option for decorating any space, making them ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, offices and beyond. To ensure your poster arrives in good condition, we roll and send them in strong mailing tubes.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 42.6cm x 30.6cm (16.8" x 12")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
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.
