Interactive 3D Views of Carnegie Stage 12

To activate the Interactive 3D View for each Model you will need to Left Click on the thumbnail of it below. A window will then appear and you can rotate the image by holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse from side to side. You can load more than one model at a time although this will depend on the speed of your computer.

The images may take a few seconds to load so please be patient.

The 3D models above show a volume render of an OPT model. No staining has been used on any of the specimens and the images were captured using autofluorescence with a FITC filter.

Painted Anatomical Domains

N288

The above model is a surface render of anatomical domains. These have been manually defined in the OPT model using specialised software and then visualised using commercial rendering packages. The various domains are: neural tube - orange; heart - red; liver - green; eye - blue; otic vesicle - yellow; dorsal root ganglia - light blue.


MPEGs Only
