Abstract. In 1948. Shinya Inoue arrived in the United Suites tor graduate studies at Princeton. A year later he came to Woods Hole, starting a long tradition of summer research [...]

Ten years ago we reported the first measurement of the distribution of birefringence in asters dispersed in lysates of Spisula oocytes; the observations were made with a new type of [...]

The neuronal growth cone appears at the tip of dendrites and axons where it plays an important role in the navigation of dendritic and axonal growth. Growth cones are rich [...]

Actin bundles play an important role in many kinds of cell activities, such as muscle contraction, cytoplasmic streaming, cell migration, and acrosomal reaction. Using our modified polarized light microscope (1), [...]

Recent advances and improvements on the polarizing light microscope have allowed for noninvasive imaging of cellular fine structures with high sensitivity and resolution irrespective of specimen orientation (1, 2). We [...]

The polarized light microscope has traditionally been an important tool for studying fine structure in living cells (1, 2). However, conventional design allows for retardance imaging only in a narrow [...]

We observed mitosis and cytokinesis of Drosophila Kc cells without functional mitotic centrosomes and compared our results to control cells to elucidate the roles of centrosomes in cell division dynamics. […]
