Mitosis of a Blood Lily (Lilium, - no audio)
Best of YouTube. This video was produced by time lapsed video-microscopy and shows the nucleus of
an endosperm cell (from a developing seed) of the Blood Lily. Without
audio or labels it is difficult to separate interphase and prophase.
However, the other stages are easy to recognize. Telophase in plant cells
starts with the development of a new cell wall (cell plate) between the newly
forming daughter cells.
5.
Cell division
(with contrast microscope)
Best of YouTube. This video was produced by time lapsed video-microscopy using a
differential contrast microscope in observation of a dividing lung cell. With
audio and labels the differential microscopy video is easy to understand.
6. Mitosis World
This site from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill / Department of Biology has numerous
excellent videos
on mitosis and microtubules.
