We developed a modified immunofluorescence protocol that permitted visualization of microtubules inside the macronucleus of the ciliate Tetrahymena. Although the amitotically dividing macronucleus lacks a spindle, an elaborate system of microtubules is assembled inside the macronucleus and between t
