Silver staining of mammalian spermatocytes revealed, in light microscopy, synaptonemal complex and structures within the sex vesicle. It is feasible to follow the chromosome pairing phenomenon from zygotene to pachytene by examining the behavior of synaptonemal complexes. Nucleolus organizer regions take heavy silver stain in pachytene but are no longer detectable in later stages of meiosis.
对哺乳动物精母细胞进行银染后,在光学显微镜下可观察到联会复合体和性泡内的结构。通过检查联会复合体的行为,追踪从偶线期到粗线期的染色体配对现象是可行的。核仁组织区在粗线期呈深银染,但在减数分裂后期不再能检测到。
