Human chromosomes can be differentiated from one another under a microscope by their lengths and by the position of the centromere.

In total, we selected 1 124 sgRNAs that are distributed on chromosome 9 (Supplementary information, Table S1). Figure 1C shows a projected z-stack of N-SIM fluorescence images taken in the ...

The answer begins in the late 1800s, when insect gonad cells, whose large chromosomes are easy to view through a microscope, were the specimen of choice for investigating the cellular basis of ...

The chromosomes are loosely packed and not visible with a microscope. Two pair of centrioles lie just outside the nucleus, next to each other. A centriole is a cylindrical structure within the ...

Their growth, shortening and attachment to chromosomes is choreographed by dozens of other proteins, each too small to see under a microscope. McNally is using worms to tease this process apart.

When you see mitosis through a microscope, it looks like a dance of the chromosomes. We're looking at a cell with only a few chromosome dancers. A human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
