its a different colour and shape
focous into the lense and look towards the stage
Acetocarmine is a DNA specific stain like feulgen stain, so the super coiled chromosomes during different stages of mitosis present in the Onion root tip cells can be visualized perfectly by treating with this stain.
I want to know the same question too
Because it makes the onion root tip very thin - to get best results they tend to try and make it one cell layer thick. This way when you look at under a microscope with dye on it, we can see it clearer and more accurately. You can then distinguish between anaphase, interphase and so on. (:

Like most cells, the onion root tip cell generally takes about 2 weeks to fully complete the cell cycle.
They have to be at the root becasue that is where every plant cell has to duplicate. In a human they would duplicate in your skin the most. - Doctor Guchin

A microscope is the best tool for a student to use to observe mitosis in an onion root tip.
.......... Did Ben ask this??????
It is a type of white fish that demonstrates mitosis much like an onion root tip.
