| Back | Movies of CS21 embryos |
The movies below show volume renders of OPT models. Images of unstained embryos were captured using autofluorescence with a FITC filter.
| N496 46XX |
N641 46XY |
| Back | Painted Anatomical Regions |
The movies below show anatomical domains defined in the N496 model. 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; eye - dark blue; otic vesicle - yellow; dorsal root ganglia - cyan.
| N496 46XX |
| Back | Carnegie Stage 21 Definition |
Age is approximately 51 postovulatory days
Length is approximately 20 - 26mm
External Features Include: the hands are slightly flexed at the wrists and nearly come together over the cardiac eminence; the feet are also approaching each other and the toes of the two sides sometimes touch; the superficial vascular plexus of the head has spread upward to form a line at somewhat more than half the distance from eye-ear level to the vertex.
