Summary

A comparative study was performed on the duration of mitosis and interkinesis in the corneal epithelium, uterine epithelium, ear epidermis and bone marrow of albino mice. The colchicine technique and total irradiation were employed. Shortcomings and advantages of both methods were analyzed. It was shown that for the estimation of mitotic cycles in tissues with a low mitotic activity it is more reasonable to use the colchicine technique, whereas in the tissues with a high proliferative capacity more precise results can be obtained with irradiation.
