Abstract
A complete human metaphase chromosome has been reconstructed from a series of electron microscopical projections obtained by tilting the specimen stage at 3 degree intervals from -60 to +60 degrees. The reconstructed structure is about 3.0 microns long, 1.6 micron wide, and 0.8 micron thick. The mass distribution was fairly homogeneous within the chromatids and neither a hollow nor a dense core was observed. The distribution and course of fibers observed are most consistent with a looping model of chromosome structure.Entities:
