Shot on an Olympus SZX-12 zoom stereomicroscope with an Olympus DP-70 camera. Images were aligned and EDF was produced with Nikon NIS Elements AR software. Images shot and edited at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience. The mouse embryo was provided by Dr. Mathias Francois of the IMB.
The new technique of Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) helps to reveal the internal structures of stained whole embryos and small pieces of tissue without the need for cutting sections. The mouse embryo shown here has been stained to show parts of the nervous system in green, the floor of the spinal cord and other tissue in blue and the heart in red. Unstained tissue appears grey. The OPT technique enables different elements of the staining patterns to be revealed in more detail using the computer to selectively remove overlying tissue. This process can be observed in the accompanying on-screen animation.

Amazingly, they cut open real, live Skate eggs, glue in a window, and allow visitors to observe the forming embryos, in different stages.
Area 51 is ONLY a top secret military base for research and development. You could take ALL the idiot conspiracy theorists and let them loose in that base, open EVERY door, drawer, filing cabinet, broom closet and computer file, and let them dig through everything to their hearts content for as long as they wanted and when they left, after finding NOTHING alien, they would be saying to each other, "The reason we didn't find anything was because they must have an 'above top secret' part of the base where the alien stuff was that they didn't open." (see photo labelled 'alien embryo, front' for final part of rant)
All embryos communicate with the parent uterus using various hormones called cytokines.
Cytokines helps the uterus to prepare for implantation.
Embryos chemically tells the uterus what it needs for development and implantation.
Embryo transfer on Day 3 aids the implantation of a second sequential transfer of blastocysts on day 5. This increases chances of possible pregnancy, since the uterus was prepared by first embryos for second set of embryos.
The Embryo Nebula is the popular name for NGC 1333, a highly active stellar nursery and reflection nebula. Located in the constellation Perseus.
Primarily a reflection nebula, where starlight is scattered by surrounding dust, giving it a characteristic bluish hue in visible light images. It also contains regions of red emission from Herbig-Haro objects.

oschene's hycrangea is a most great model and even its in-between stages turn out to be beautiful. I will probably continue and let this bird hatch eventually.

We caught a couple large female bonnetheads today. This mom didn't make it so we opened her up to see if she was pregnant. Yep. She would've taken them to term and pupped in October.
The blastocyst at 5 days post egg retrieval. The darker inner mass at 5-6 o'clock becomes the embryo. The rest of the cells become the placenta. The shell around the edges of the blastocyst is the hard zona that the blast has to hatch out of, and at 10 o'clock you can see that the blast has started hatching. The whole blast squeezes out a tiny hole in the shell. I love this photo because it's so clear you can see the nucleii of individual cells.
Update: this blastocyst is now Killian! Baby's first photo.

Hard to imagine they'd been inside the eggs. Bunta ate one, and gave the rest to one of the little girls who had followed us; she ate half and took the rest to her wee brother.

This micrograph shows a late Drosophila embryo containing a hazy-GFP insertion, which labels the future larval eye photoreceptors. I immunostained this specimen with antibodies against GFP (yellow), FasII (which mainly stains the axons of developing neurons, cyan) and Elav (a nuclear, pan-neuronal marker; magenta). Imaging was performed on a Leica SP5 confocal microscope.
The embryo of a fruit fly is a tiny thing to study. Yet, it is incredibly complex. Thousands of neurons need to be generated, and they contact each other following strict, highly stereotypical rules to ensure that larvae are able to survive in their environment after they hatch. This micrograph shows an advanced specimen, ready to crawl outside the egg in a few hours, and the nuclei of all its neurons can be seen in magenta. Also, the axons of some developing nerves appear in cyan. Most impressively, the photoreceptors of the future larval eyes are shown in yellow. As a whole, this image is an example of how a small, normally invisible insect embryo can grow bigger when it is observed under the microscope. ¦ Image#1_34
Above is a chick embryo 33 hours after conception. This diagram labels the main aspects of the form at this stage of development. The heart, seen below the hind brain, is in it's first stages of growth. The primitive streak is also a key component to the chick embryo. This part of the embryo is responsible for creating bilateral symmetry and also lends support for a body axis. At this point in development, the form of the chick is growing with impressive speed.
Note the brain vesicles in the head, the heart, the eye and the developing limbs. You can see the digits of the feet in this one. Developmental biology lab - chicken embryo anatomy.
