Movie of cell growth and division in cultured hTERT-RPE1 cells (telomerase immortalized human retinal pigment epithelium) using phase contrast optics. The time series used to create this movie is grouped with it in the Cell Image Library.
Biological Process: Mitosis, Cell proliferation
Cells were cultured on glass coverslips in 10% FBS, DMEM/F12 medium plus glutamine, HEPES, penicillin and streptomycin and examined with a Leica DMIRE2 microscope with Leica 40x HCX PL APO NA 1.25 objective lens. images were captured at 3 minute intervals with a Hamamatsu ORCA-ER2 CCD camera using Simple PCI 6.6.0.0 software
