Definition
A spindle-shaped structure with star-like fibers at both ends that appears during cell division, especially visible in the mitotic or meiotic stages.
Etymology
From Greek 'amphi-' (both) + 'aster' (star). The term emerged in late 19th-century cell biology as microscopy advanced.
Kelly Says
Under a microscope, the amphiaster looks like two stars connected by strings of light—it's actually the cell's machinery pulling apart chromosomes so each daughter cell gets a complete copy!
