Abstract

A simple method has been described for the visualization of chromosomes cores with light microscopy in conventional chromosome preparations. The technique is relatively simple, highly reproducible and can be used effectively on fresh and aged slides. The following observations have been made: (1) a core existed in mitotic chromosomes in all the materials employed, confirming the findings of Howell and Hus (1979). (2) The microchromosomes of the chicken and double minutes of a human carcinoma cell line also exhibited the core structure. (3) The core structure of meiotic chromosomes appear weak, disorganized, and disintegrating.
