Introduction

Many universities and research groups hold collections of embryos from many model species. Very few have well-characterised collections of embryos showing human development.

There are also many groups now taking advantage of molecular methods and new imaging techniques to either re-evaluate historic collections, or analysing new embryonic material. Some of these new databases are being made available online for research purposes.

Hubrecht Collection

(Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology in Utrecht, Hubrecht Laboratory)

In 2004 was relocated to the Museum fur Naturkunde, Berlin. Incorporating the Hill collection.

  • The Hubrecht Laboratory[1] was founded in 1916 from Ambrosius Arnold Willem Hubrecht (1853-1915) personal collection[2].
  • The collection is for comparative embryology of vertebrates and includes a large number of animal embryos (also an associated historical library).
  • 600 species of chordate, in 175 families and 10 classes.
  • 2,000 wet specimens.
  • histological sections (A. Dohrn - Pisces, Amphibia, Reptilia; L. Bolk - Vertebrates; and W. Kückenthal - Cetacea)
  • material blocked out in paraffin but not sectioned.
