      • He showed that the threads (later called chromosomes) shortened and seemed to split longitudinally into two halves, each half moving to opposite sides of the cell. He named the entire process mitosis and described it in his historic book Zell-substanz, Kern und Zelltheilung (1882; “Cell-Substance, Nucleus, and Cell-Division”).

So revealing were the new dyes and so meticulous was his technique that Flemming was able to define the phases of mitosis that we still talk about today ...
