Fig. 2. F-actin structures in three wild-type cells at early prophase. Green, red and blue (a-f) represent F-actin, SPBs and DNA, respectively. A representative 3D image of one of these cells is shown in a. Deconvoluted serial sections around the SPBs of these cells are shown in b-f, g-j and k-o, respectively. The SPBs just initiate to separate (pink arrows; see magnified images in insets of d, i and k, respectively), and some F-actin cables (white arrows) are branched near the SPBs at the medial region of the cell. Arrowheads indicate F-actin patches attached to F-actin cables. Bars, 2 µm (o); 1 µm (k).
