As spindle positioning during mitosis is a highly dynamic process, live cell imaging is a key technology when studying its underlying mechanisms. Recent advances in imaging tools and microscope systems have enabled us to simultaneously visualize several cellular components in living cells with high temporal and spatial resolution. By combining live cell imaging with functional assays such as RNAi-based depletions, drug inhibition, and micropatterned coverslips, novel and unexpected mechanisms of spindle positioning have been uncovered. In this chapter, I present methods for analyzing the dynamics of spindle positioning in cultured cells.
