Rotation animation: Tilted, 3-D re-constructed cytokinesis complex.
(green)Phragmoplast scaffolding.
(orange)Cell plate.
(The daughter nuclei are not shown.)

Crudely, the structure resembles a green UFO/flying-saucer with its top and bottom blown open, containing an orange loop within it.

(The scattered orange and yellow noise that sweeps by in the fore- and background is artifact from other material in the optical sections.)

False simulation of the cytokinetic complex's expansion to side-walls to form new cross wall.
