LM of giant polytene chromosomes, Drosophila
Light micrograph of stained giant polytene chromosomes of Drosophila funebris. These chromosomes are found in the salivary glands of D.funebris and many other fly species. The giant structure occurs when succesive replicate strands of chromosome substance fail to separate from one another, instead lining up precisely. With careful staining, the minute structure of the chromosomes may be studied. Magnification x1000 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of giant polytene chromosomes found in Drosophila funebris, a species of fly. The image reveals a mesmerizing light micrograph of stained chromosomes that are specifically located in the salivary glands of D. funebris and various other fly species. The unique aspect of these chromosomes lies in their colossal size, resulting from multiple replicate strands failing to separate and instead aligning precisely with one another. This phenomenon creates an awe-inspiring giant structure that can be observed under careful staining techniques. With a magnification of x1000 at 35mm size, this photograph allows us to delve into the minute details and study the intricate structure of these chromosomes. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of genetics and provides valuable insights into the anatomy and body composition of animals like Drosophila funebris. Science Photo Library has captured this extraordinary moment, showcasing both scientific precision and artistic flair. This print serves as a testament to the wonders that lie within nature's smallest building blocks – chromosomes – which play an essential role in shaping life as we know it.
