Normal Rat Kidney cell (NRK) progressing from prophase to telophase. Chromosomes are marked by the stable expression of the core histone 2b tagged with Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP-H2b, in green). Transmitted light (grey) is used to follow the shape of the cell. The fluorescence labeling of chromatin and 4D imaging of the same live cell over the entire mitosis allows quantitations of the structural dynamics of chromosomes. Fluorescence channel is a maximum intensity projection of 18 confocal sections. Frame size is 30x30 µm, total real time elapsed is 50 min.
