Lily mitosis. A light microscope image of a cell from the endosperm of an African globe lily Haemanthus (Scadoxus) katherinae. This is one frame of a sequence that shows all phases of mitosis. The lily is considered a good organism for studying cell division because its endosperm has a liquid phase and chromosomes are thick and easier to see than human ones. Staining shows microtubules in red and chromosomes in blue.
This image showing a cell in early prophase is the 2nd of a grouped series that spans mitosis.

Lily有丝分裂。本图展示为非洲球形百合（Scadoxus katherinae）种子的光镜图像，呈现细胞有丝分裂全过程的单一帧。非洲球形百合因其子叶具有液态特征且染色体较人类染色体更为粗厚，便于观察，被视为研究细胞分裂的理想生物体。染色后，微管呈现红色，染色体呈现蓝色。此图描绘了有丝分裂早期前期阶段的细胞，为一系列描绘有丝分裂过程的图像中的第二幅。
