| Back | Movies of CS13 embryos |
The movies below show volume renders of OPT models. No staining has been used on any of the specimens and the images were captured using autofluorescence with a FITC filter.

N462 46XX |
| N475 46XY |
N489 46XY |
The movies below show volume renders of High Resolution Episcopic Microscopy (HREM) models. Other HREM models can be found here.

The movies below show anatomical domains defined in the N462 and N475 models. The domains have been manually defined in the OPT models using specialised software and then visualised using commercial rendering packages.
The various domains are: neural tube - orange; heart - red; liver - dark green; optic vesicle - dark blue; otic vesicle - yellow; dorsal root ganglia/dermatomes - cyan.
