Metaphase

These three panels show cells in metaphase from the lining epithelium of the esophagus. Paired sister chromatids are tightly aligned in the center of the cell forming the metaphase plate. Though not visible in this image, spindle apparatuses composed of microtubules are present, as are two centrosomes at opposite ends of the spindle. Esophageal epithelium 1000x
