This page is an access point to the many images of sections through embryos at different stages of development using a text only link.
Images include: Carnegie stage 13/14, stage 22, high power stage 22 and sagittal sections of an older female fetus.
Clicking on the tables below will open unlabelled images of that specific section. Levels shown on whole embryo are only approximate.

Coelomic Cavity and Derivatives
Gastrointestinal Tract Development
Head and Neck (pharyngeal arches)
A series of sagittal sections starting at the midline of the fetus. Click
on the A-D to see specific sections.
Below each image is a selected high power image.

The original principle of using serial sections on microfiche cards was developed by Dr M. Smith, Prof. C. Watson and the late Prof. I. Tork in the early 1980's. The original 27mm Human embryo microfiche images were developed by Dr M. Smith and the 6mm Pig Embryo microfiche images by Dr M. Smith and Prof. I. Tork.

If this page is too slow, use Serial Text only Page.
Clicking on a specific section to view opens a new page with a number of different viewing options, including a labelled and tutorial version of the same image. Note that not all embryo features are labelled.
Clicking on the image itself will open the next image and allow stepping sequentially through the entire embryo.
If you have not used the sections before have a quick look at How to Use Images.
Serial section figures are from original images used in embryology courses in both the Medicine and Science in the Department of Anatomy, University of New South Wales.
