Dividing cell, light micrograph
Cell division. Fluorescent light micrograph of a cell that has divided by mitosis, the asexual replication of a cell into two new cells. This is late telophase, the mitosis stage where the cells genetic material has separated and the cleavage plane (centre) has formed between the two new cells (left and right). The genetic material has been replicated and divided between two new cell nuclei (blue). The actin cytoskeleton (red) surrounds each cell. A receptor protein is marked in green. These are epithelial cells, cells that make up the bodys internal and external surface layers, such as the skin and the walls of the intestines

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of cell division through mitosis. The image captures a late telophase stage, where a single cell has successfully replicated and divided into two new cells. The genetic material within the original cell has been duplicated and separated between the newly formed nuclei of each daughter cell, depicted in striking blue hues. The fluorescent lighting used in this micrograph highlights key elements within the cellular structure. The actin cytoskeleton, represented by vibrant red fluorescence, surrounds each individual cell, providing support and maintaining its shape. Additionally, a receptor protein is marked in green, illustrating its presence on the surface of these epithelial cells. These particular cells are vital components of both internal and external surfaces within our bodies - such as skin or intestinal walls - making them essential for overall health and normal bodily functions. Through this remarkable image captured using a light microscope (LM), we gain insight into the biological processes that underpin life itself. It serves as a reminder of the complexity and beauty inherent in even the most fundamental aspects of our existence: cellular replication and growth driven by DNA replication.
