EmbryoView

Interactive 3D Views of Theiler Stage 14 (E9)

To activate each view, click on the image, a new window will appear in which the image can be interactively rotated by pressing the mouse button on the image and moving left or right (Loading each image from disk may take a few moments). If you have clicked on one of the interactive 3D views then you can move the cursor up and down to rotate in the other direction. Note the full 3D rotating views may take longer to load, please be patient.

If you experience a problem in activating these windows follow the simple instructions for UNIX machines, PCs or MACs.
 

	No anatomy. This view simply shows the histology of the underlying grey-level model.  This is a 'volume-rendered' image of the same model embryo as shown in SectionView, but now visualised as if it were under a dissecting microscope.  The views below show the same model with landmark anatomical structures highlighted in colour.  They are most useful for gaining an overall mental map of the embryo and for helping to locate specific structures or regions in relation to these landmark structures.

	This image, and the two below, show 'surface-rendered' views of selected anatomical components. They do not show the grey-level data. They are most useful for visualising the 3D relations between comonents. optic vesicle: brown otic pit: orange primitive streak: pink notochord: blue neural crest-derived ganglia precursors: olive green surface ectoderm: transparent Click on image Mpeg movie
