A cell karyotype is produced by looking at chromosomes through a light microscope. A karyotype is produced by factoring in the length of individual chromosomes under the microscope, as well as their banding pattern, position of centromeres, and other physical characteristics.

Cells are collected by amniocentesis or from chorionic villus. The cells have to be in metaphase when they are burst. The chromosomes are then spread out and a photo is taken of them. Afterwards, the chromosomes are arranged in pairs to their size, banding pattern, position of the centromere and structure.
