Embryo details
Species: Gallus gallus domesticus
Embryo Name: RC-006
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.
