Description
Time lapse movie of meiotic metaphase and anaphase in spermatocytes of the Locust Psophus stridulus. Two sequences are shown, each continuing through telophase to the start of cytokinesis. In addition to the squat meiotic chromosomes, the spindles are clearly visible. This is a historic movie made in the early 40s by Kurt Michel of the Zeiss company in Jena using Zernike's newly invented phase contrast microscope. Despite its early date, the movie and the others in the group remain some of the clearest examples of chromosome behavior during meiosis.
