  • human embryo
  • Professor Keibel kindly afforded me the opportunity of studying this embryo in the Anatomical Institute in Freiburg
  • placed at the disposal of Professor Keibel, for publication in his Normentafel zur Entwickelungsgeschichte des Menschen (Standard Plates to Embryology of Man), by Professor Pfannenstiel of Griefswald. (German, Pfannenstiel = panhandle)
  • In the Normentafel the embryo is No.6 (fig.Vr. and Vv.)
  • was obtained at an operation, and as measured through the amnion had a length of 2-6 mm
  • The embryo was fixed in formalin-Muller's fluid
  • stained in paracarmine
  • sectioned at a thickness of 10 µm. Histologically the embryo is in an excellent state of preservation.
  • Model - I undertook to reconstruct models of the embryo according to Born's method. The work of modelling was begun in the Anatomical Institute in Freiburg, and completed in the Anatomy Department, Aberdeen University.
  • A model of the whole embryo has been reconstructed at an enlargement of 100.
  • A separate model of the nervous and alimentary systems has also been made, and three models of pharynx, heart with its blood-vessels, and septum transversum at an enlargement of 150.
