Method for testing the Influence of Drugs and Physical Agents upon Mitosis

Nature volume 183, page 190 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

JOLLY1 described how to obtain a convenient number of erythroblastic mitoses in the circulating blood of various species of Triturus. The new techniques now made available by phase-contrast microscopy induced us to study these cells with time-lapse photography and micro-cinematography in order to obtain direct evidence of the mechanism of normal and artificially influenced mitosis.
