(A) 3D reconstruction of a mitotic cells from prophase to cytokinesis, highlighting the cell membrane (grey), nucleus (blue) and chromosomes (purple). (B) Metaphase cell superimposed on a z-stack slice showing chromosomal volumetric progression; descending shades of purple denote size (large, >3 μm3; medium, 2–3 μm3; small: <2 μm3), with sex-linked chromosomes in dark pink.
Nickhil Jadav, Sailakshmi Velamoor, Duane Harland, Mihnea Bostina and colleagues use volume electron microscopy to uncover mitotic ultrastructure in the native hair follicle.
