Cool New Pictures of Embryos

My chosen speciality is Developmental Biology so naturally this video fills me with excitement.

But this is not only about some pretty cool images but also about the technique. There’s a paper in Science that’s all about taking images of embryos and measuring them. It’s all very technical but it comes with some cool computer generated images made from these measurements.
