  • Spindle-tree (Euonymus europea): fruiting stem. Watercolour, 1904.
  • Two men spinning thread using a spindle. Watercolour by an Indian artist.
  • HeLa cell in prometaphase. The chromatin is stained red and the microtubules forming the spindle stained green. The chromatin has condensed but there is not yet complete attachment of the chromosomes to the spindle.
  • A woman is weaving at a loom with a spindle in her hand. Aquatint by C.M. Metz.
  • A young woman is using a spinning wheel under a tree with a spindle and shuttle. Engraving by Saunders after Woolley.
  • Human chromosomes in metaphase. The chromosomes are all aligned and at this stage they are attached to the spindle (not visible in this image).
  • Five roots of different forms: spindle-shaped (carrot), fibrous (grass), beet-shaped (radish), tuberous (water hemlock), and onion-shaped (onion). Chromolithograph by H.J. Ruprecht, 1877.

  • Human chromosomes in metaphase. The chromatin is stained red and the "glue" that holds the two chromatids together is highlighted in yellow. This glue is a proteinaceous complex called cohesin. Once all the chromosomes are attached to the spindle, the cohesin complex breaks down, allowing the two chromatids to separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
