Introduction

Human Embryo
(stage 12, week 4) SEM

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was a development of the electron microscope. Unlike a light microscope, using light, the electron microscope uses a focussed beam of electrons to image materials.

On this current site the acronym "SEM" is used to denote a Scanning Electron Micrograph, the image produced by this form of microscopy.

There are a series of beautiful SEM images of the early developing human embryo between stage 7 to 14 available; 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 | 14.
