On the reality of spindle fibers

Schrader, Franz (1934) On the reality of spindle fibers. The Biological Bulletin, 67 (3). p. 519.

Abstract

1. By centrifuging, the fibers or components of the half-spindle are bent and distorted, not only as a group but also independently of each other. 2. Metaphases so treated continue their mitotic activities and it is concluded that the half-spindle components as seen in fixed preparations are not coagulation artefacts but have a morphological basis in the living spindle. 3. The experiments lend further support to the claim that half-spindle components and interzonal connections differ from each other in structure and certain other physical properties.
