This culture method was used to monitor spindle formation and function in vitro using polarization, epifluorescence, and differential-interference contrast optics. It was found that before nuclear envelope breakdown, there are no obvious bipolar spindles; instead, they form during prometaphase, as chromosomes move to the metaphase plate.
