Fig. 3. Otic capsule human embryo 13.5 mm long

Camera lucida drawing of a portion of the otic capsule while it is the state of condensed mesenchyme. It is taken from a human embryo 13.5 mm. long (Carnegie Collection, No. 695). The section is 10 microns thick and is enlarged 950 diameters. The syncytial character of the capsule can be seen and also its relation to the epithelial wall of the otic vesicle and to the surrounding mesenchyme.
