Use the following links to view movies of mitosis, cytokinesis and various aspects of cell motility in cells expressing cytoskeletal proteins tagged with GFP. Except where noted, images were acquired using a Perkin Elmer spinning disc confocal scan head attached to an inverted microscope.

Spindle Formation    Mitosis and Spindle Flux    Spindle Disassembly    Cytokinesis    Microtubule Dynamic Instability    Microtubule Nucleation and Growth    Cell Locomotion: Fish Keratocytes

(You will need QuickTime 7 to view these movies. We chose to encode our movies using the H.264 codec to preserve as much information from the originals as possible. H.264 is an implementation of the ISO/ICE MPEG-4 Part 10 standard.)
