Left: Microscopic view of an onion skin showing several rectangular cells, each with a small, spherical nucleus (red arrow). The slide was stained with a drop of yellowish-brown gram's iodine. Right: Highly magnified view of a cell from the meristematic root tip of an onion showing enlarged nucleus containing 16 chromosomes. The cell is in prophase of mitosis, with distinct chromosomes (chromosome doublets) and a disintegrating nuclear membrane.
