Figure 5

Photomicrographs of metaphase bone marrow cells 1 week after irradiation. Different types of aberrant chromosomes are shown here. (a) Normal metaphase, (b) chromatid-type gap, (c) isochromatid gaps, (d) chromosome fragments, (e) chromosome with dicentrics and the accompanying fragments, (f) Robertsonian translocation, (g) chromosome deletion, and (h) chromosomes with exchanged fragments. Arrows indicate specific aberrations. Pictures were taken at 1000-fold magnification with an immersion objective.
