Below are sets of transverse, sagittal and frontal sections from CS10 to 14PCW.
H&E sections, scanned at X20 or X40, are shown for the embryonic stages, while microCT images are shown for the fetal stages.
Annotation of the sections is a work in progress. A guide on how to view the sections is available here.
