F-actin envelopes surrounding late prophase nuclei in an 8-cell-stage embryo of the polychaete Ophryotrocha puerilis. Triple staining of F-actin (red), b -tubulin (green) and DNA (blue) with specific fluorescence labeling (TRITC-phalloidin, DTAF-immunofluorescence and DAPI). Upper row: upper focus plane; lower row: lower focus plane. The animal pole is located at 12 o'clock. Some blastomeres exhibit F-actin envelopes around their prophase nuclei that have not yet been detected in animal embryos. For details see "Characterization of novel F-actin envelopes around their prophase nuclei that have not yet been detected in animal embryos. For details see "Characterization of novel F-actin envelopes surrounding nuclei during cleavage of a polychaete worm" by S. Jaco bsohn in this issue.
