Embryo details


Species: Gallus gallus domesticus

Embryo stage: 20

(Stage was not confirmed, should be taken as approximate)--MF Kubke 20:31, 13 January 2011 (EST)


Staging description:

  • Allantois has vesicularized and is roughly the same size as the midbrain (indicating stage 20-21)
  • Contour of mid-trunk region is a straight line and not curved enough to be stage 21.

Note: RC-006 Is a rather large embryo for its stage. Tissue appeared well preserved and hence it was selected for cutting.

Experiment details


Objective: Use the embryo to create a series of cross-sectional images of the hindbrain to identify structural features.
Procedure: Complete a serial sectioning using the cryostat followed by a Nissl stain.
