How do you identify the meiotic division that occurs in the Lilium anther?

In Lilium anthers, meiotic division can be identified by observing the formation of tetrads of microspores within the anther locules. These tetrads are the result of meiosis, where each microspore undergoes a reduction division to produce haploid cells. By examining the anther tissue under a microscope, the stages of meiotic division can be visualized.
