Orientated cell division. HeLa cells dividing on a rectangular fibronectin micro-pattern. Phase contrast pictures are shown on the left and the projections of Z-acquisitions of Centrin-GFP protein labelling the centrosomes are shown on the right. Before entering mitosis the cell was in the shape of a rectangle. It then divided along the long cell axis. Accelerated 9000 times.
