Human cell in metaphase, light micrograph

---

Fluorescence light micrograph of a HeLa cell in metaphase showing the spindle in green, and the kinetochores as discrete red dots on the end of each spindle microtubule. The chromosomes are not stained, but are aligned in the dark area across the middle, attached to the spindle by the kinetochores.
