Abstract
Individual polytene chromosomes have been isolated from Chironomus stigmaterus for scanning electron microscope observations. The three dimensional ultrastructure of these chromosomes consists of a series of chromatin strands extended in the interbands and more tightly coiled or folded in the banded regions. The nucleolus is observed to be a dense disc or doughnut shaped structure surrounding the chromosome while the Balbiani Rings appear as diffuse regions consisting of both fibrillar and granular elements.Mesh:
