Abstract
SEGURA-VALDEZ, María de Lourdes et al. Visualización de la Mitosis con el microscopio de fuerza atómica. TIP [online]. 2008, vol.11, n.2, pp.87-90. ISSN 1405-888X.
In eukaryotes, cell division generally takes place by mitosis. In previous studies we documented the possibility of studying in situ cell structure by atomic force microscopy, and specially the interphase cell nucleus. Here we show that different stages of mitosis can be visualized with this instrument, therefore offering the possibility to study this phenomenon at the nanoscale.
Keywords : Anaphase; chromosomes; metaphase; atomic force microscopy; mitosis; prophase; prometaphase; telophase.
