摘要
In order to clarify the process of condensation and distribution of a chromosome with 70 nm resolution, process of cell division was observed by soft X-ray microscopy. During prometaphase of mouse fibroblast cell line NIH3T3, each chromosome is clearly visualized at high contrast. Furthermore, thickness of a chromosome is not uniform but varied from 150 nm to 750 nm. This is considered as a condensing step of chromatin fiber occurring in the prometaphase. During metaphase and anaphase, each chromosome was also observed. The chromosomes were thicker than those in prometaphase. This result implies that during metaphase and anaphase the chromosomes condense and become more compact.
