Complete G-banded karyotype of a human male (46,XY) showing all 22 pairs of autosomes and the X and Y sex chromosomes. Each chromosome is arranged by size and banding pattern, with characteristic Giemsa dark and light bands visible for cytogenetic identification and analysis.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) image showing fluorescently labeled DNA probes hybridized to specific chromosomal regions. FISH enables visualization and mapping of genetic material within individual cells, identifying specific genes or chromosomal segments through complementary fluorescent probe binding.
