C.
elegans embryo carrying a GFP-histone2B fusion protein to label
chromosomes and imaged using dual time-lapse DIC and fluorescence
microscopy from telophase in the one-cell stage until the two-cell
stage. The DIC and GFP signal (pseudocolored in green) are overlaid.
The embryo is approximately 50 micrometer-long and anterior is
to the left. One imaged was captured every ten seconds through
a 100X lens, and the movie is played back at 10 frames per seconds
(overall, 100 times faster than actual events). Pierre Gonczy link to lab. |
