Mitosis-flourescent.jpg‎ (300 × 264 pixel, file size: 21 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

An image of a newt lung cell stained with fluorescent dyes undergoing mitosis. According to NIH, "The scientists use newt lung cells in their studies because these cells are large, easy to see into, and are biochemically similar to human lung cells."

The material stained green are the microtubules that form the mitotic spindle, the material stained red is the cell membrane and some components of the cytoplasm near it, and the material stained light blue are the chromosomes.

From http://www.nigms.nih.gov/moleculestomeds/images/newtcells.jpg - so it's public domain as it's US government material.

[edit] Update

The web-site has moved to this URL: http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/moleculestomeds/biology.html

The creator of the image is, according to this website, Conly Rieder, a cell biologist at The Wadsworth Center in Albany, New York.

In my humble opinion, this is a cell in metaphase (not anaphase) where all chromosomes but one are already at the metaphase plate. --Dietzel65 20:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
