Organization of MT bundles in late prometaphase/metaphase S2 cells. a Longitudinal serial sections showing a large MT bundle comprising MTs that are attached to kinetochores (k-fibers) and MTs that run laterally to kinetochores. In the bottom panels, the dotted red lines delimit the MT bundles and the kinetochores are pseudo-colored in red. b Transverse serial sections through a large MT bundle comprising kinetochore-attached MTs (k-fiber) and two lateral MT bundles. The first and third series of panels show the original images. In the second and fourth series of panels, kinetochores and most MTs are pseudo-colored in red. MTs embedded into the kinetochore are less clear than the other MTs in the section and are tentatively pseudo-colored in green. Scale bars: a, 1 μm; b, 0.1 μm
