Application of colour laser microscope for observing living biological specimens.
Pollen-mother cells from Lilium longiflorum, human metaphase chromosomes and human spermatozoa, were observed under a colour laser microscope. Helical mitochondrial strands were clearly evident in the middle piece of human spermatozoa. The technique enables living specimens to be conveniently and effectively examined.
