Eggs of the sea urchins, Arbacia punctulata and Lytechinus vaAgatus were observed with a centrifuge microscope. The protoplasmic viscosity calculated from the displacement velocity of the nucleus in a centrifugal field is about 30 poises. The surface forces of the unfertilized egg, which were deter
A wave front of increased free calcium traversing the egg at fertilization is demonstrated in the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus. The use of the fluorescent calcium chelator fura-2 in combination with low-light-level TV microscopy and image processing allows the visualization of the Ca2+ wave front wi
