![This is a two-cell C. elegans embryo imaged by laser scanning confocal microscopy. One cell is assembling the spindle (cytoskeleton that pulls apart the sister chromosomes into two separate cells), and the other cell is in prophase, the stage where the chromatin (chromatin is DNA and associated proteins) condeses. Microtubules (cytoskeleton) are green, DNA is blue and the red is syntaxin, which marks the outside of the cells. For more about C. elegans, go here.
