Cation distribution on chromosomes using SIMS. SIMS analytical distribution maps of 24Mg2+ and 40Ca2+ in chromosomes from BV173 (A and D) and IM chromosomes (B and C). Note that the cation signals follow along the chromatids for methanol-acetic acid fixed chromosomes (A and D), and for fractionated chromosomes fixed in methanol-acetic acid (B) or 4% p-formaldehyde (C).
