Description

Metaphase I of meiosis, polar view, in a diploid lily pollen mother cell. Because of the polar viewpoint, the metaphase plate is not apparent but the 12 bivalents are very clear as are the regions of crossovers.

Technical Details

Feulgen stained light microscopy image collected using a bright field zeiss microscope, using a 100X, N.A. 1.4 Neuflar lens.
