[Visualization of the cytoplasmic segregation structure by using computed microscopy]

Cytoplasm organella segregation accompanies virtually all the changes occuring in embryonic and differentiated cells. The general scheme of mapping spatial distribution of cytoplasm texture parameters, realized using computed microscope LEITZ-T.A.S., allowed the imaging of geometrical relationship between yolk granules in the Rana Temporaria fertilized egg. The development of dorsoventral polarity in amphibian embryos was shown to be related to shape and location asymmetry of cytoplasm area containing clusters of yolk granules.
