Fluorescent micrographs of animal cells during mitosis and cytokinesis, showing detailed internal structures and processes with various colors.

Animal cell mitosis is divided into five stages—prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase—visualized here by light microscopy with fluorescence. Mitosis is usually accompanied by cytokinesis, shown here by a transmission electron microscope. See more
