Model of the structure of the synaptonemal complex (SC) in Drosophila females based on EM immunolocalization of SC components C(3)G and C(2)M.

This is one of 4 grouped time lapse movies (CIL 11958-11962) revealing the responses of a meiotic oocyte spindle to various forms of micromanipulation by a glass microneedle. The needle is inserted, ...

The time lapse movie spans fertilization, ooplasmic segregation, and early divisions in the egg of the tunicate Phalusia mammilata. Contrast is provided by both polarizing microscopy and differential...

Nucleus of a plant cell showing synaptonemal complex, a ladder- like protein structure that forms between pairing chromosomes during meiosis (the cell division required for reproduction). This image w...

The movie shows several sequences showing changes in birefringence in oocytes of the marine annelid Chaetopteris that had formed meiotic spindles before exposure to centrifugal force in the Centrifuge...

The events of meiosis I and II in a living insect spermatocyte beginning with the breakdown of the nuclear envelope at diakinesis through to the completion of cytokinesis. Testes from the Crane fly N...
