The Number of Chromosomes in SCHIZOSACCHAROMYCES POMBE: Light Microscopy of Stained Preparations.
Chromosomes have been counted with the light microscope in fixed and stained preparations of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The least ambiguous images were seen in zygotes fixed at meta-, ana- and telophase of meiosis II. They suggest that the haploid number of chromosomes in S. pombe is three.
