 Some of the following figures are from the original microfiche sets used in both the Medicine and Science Embryology Courses in the School of Anatomy, University of New South Wales. Not all embryo features are labelled.

The material is for tutorial/revision purposes and cannot be reproduced electronically or in writing without permission.

The table below provides both a Link to Images and a Description of the content of that part of the program.

Low Power Serial Sections

These are the images from the Low Power 27mm Human series. The images are available in 3 formats: Unlabelled, Labelled and Tutorial. Also selected from this series are groups and system sets of images to help with spatial relationships within the embryo. Note that this is a single "snapshot" of a stage of development not a sequence.

Selected High Power Sections

These are the images from the High Power 27mm Human series. The images are available in 3 formats: Unlabelled, Labelled and Tutorial. Note that a Low Power image showing the selected region is generally shown first, followed by 1 to 3 High Power images from that section.

Head & Neck

This page shows a Table which links to all images in the 27mm Human Set that relate to the Head and Neck Region.

Body

This page shows a Table which links to all images in the 27mm Human Set that relate to the Body Region.

Head & Neck

This page shows the Sections grouped in small sets of 3-4 images that relate to the head and neck. The images are shown offset from each other so that changes in structure and spatial relationships can be seen. Note that there are also links to each individual labelled image.

Body 1

This page shows the Sections grouped in small sets of 3-4 images that relate to the body. The images are shown offset from each other so that changes in structure and spatial relationships can be seen. Note that there are also links to each individual labelled image.

Body 2

Body 3

Human Systems

This is an initial set of 27mm Human Embryo regions that have been grouped together to show systems through the serial sequence of images. A later version will contain more systems and information.

Human Sagittal Sections

A series of Sagittal sections through the whole human embryo and a selected region of the embryo. Images are shown as unlabelled and some pages with labels.

Kyoto Human Series

A Series of Human Embryos from the Kyoto collection that show specific Carnegie stages of human embryo development. Note that many species can be categorized by this staging technique.
