Cell division, fluorescent micrograph
Cell division. Immunofluorescent light micrograph of a human epithelial cell (centre) during the late anaphase stage of mitosis. Mitosis is the cycle of replication and division by which new body cells are formed. Here the chromosomes (blue) of the parent cell have duplicated and the pairs are being pulled apart by microtubules (spindles, green) to opposite poles of the cell, in a process called cytokinesis. When the cell has split, two identical daughter cells are formed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This immunofluorescent light micrograph captures the late anaphase stage of mitosis in a human epithelial cell. Mitosis is a fundamental process in the life cycle of cells, enabling the formation of new body cells through replication and division. During mitosis, the chromosomes (blue) of the parent cell duplicate, and the pairs are pulled apart by microtubules (spindles, green) to opposite poles of the cell in a process called cytokinesis. In this image, the chromosomes have reached the maximum separation, and the cytoplasm (not visible) begins to pinch in between the separating chromosomes, eventually leading to the formation of two identical daughter cells. This physiological process is crucial for maintaining the health and integrity of tissues and organs in the human body. The microtubules, essential fibers for cell division, are highlighted in green, while the chromosomes are stained blue. This image showcases the intricacy and beauty of cellular processes, providing valuable insights into the field of cell biology, cytology, and genetics.
