Example of human chromosome labeling and identification using multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes specific for the DNA of individual chromosomes. Using this chromosome p...

Fragile X chromosome made visible by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The arrow indicates the fragile site. Additional AFM chromosome images are available as CIL 38987, 39000, and 38915.

Scanning probe/atomic force microscope image of human chromosome 1. Additional scanning probe chromosome images are available as CIL 38987, 39000, and 39013.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of chromosome spreads and interphase nuclei of lymphoblastoid cell of higher primates using probes specific to individual chromosomes. The figure illustrates ...

Image shows a metaphase spread revealing the 46 human chromosomes (blue). Telomeres have been labeled using PNA-FISH and appear as pale dots at the ends of each chromatid.

Transmission electron micrograph showing part of a decondensed mitotic chromosome. The residual protein 'scaffold' (at bottom) is surrounded by a 'halo' of DNA loops 20 to 24 micrometers long. The en...

Scanning probe 3D image of a single metaphase wheat chromosome, with selected height contours superimposed around the base. Using such images, complete genomic sets of chromosomes can be classified ac...

Transmission electron micrograph of isolated HeLa cell metaphase chromosome decondensed by removal of histones with dextran sulfate and heparin, centrifuged onto a carbon film and stained with uranyl ...

Transmission electron micrographs of whole metaphase chromosomes isolated from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells showing the characteristic paired chromatids and centromeric constrictions.

High Voltage TEM image showing the series of bands and interbands characteristic of a polytene chromosome. This image of a whole mount preparation of a fat body cell polytene chromosome from Drosophil...
