Human anagen scalp hair bulb melanocytes in mitosis were observed by electron microscopy. The metaphase melanocytes were found to maintain their cytologic characteristics, and their perikarya to retain a relatively large number of melanosomes. The relationship between mitosis of a melanocyte and its melanogenic activity is presently being investigated.
