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.
