Human cell in anaphase, light micrograph

---

HeLa cell in anaphase, fluorescence light micrograph. Chromosomes are stained blue and the microtubules forming the spindle are stained green. The pink dots associated with each chromosome are the kinetochores which attach the chromosomes, at the centromere, to the spindle, allowing them to be pulled towards the opposite poles of the cell.
