Embryology History - Ziegler Models

Introduction

Ziegler Model

Medulla model information

Not a collection as such, but a historic series of wax models made in the 1860-80s based upon the embryos of Prof. Wilhelm His, Leipzig. Wilhelm His had earlier prepared a series of freehand models. These Ziegler models are the basis of some teaching models still commercially available and used today.

Adolf Ziegler (1820 - 1889) a German modeller developed these models at his Studio for Scientific Teaching Models (Atelier für wissenchaftliche Unterrichtsmodelle) from the 1860's onwards of both human and animal embryos. Ziegler's models were first used in Germany, but were also later exhibited in Paris (1867) and Vienna (1873).

His son, Friedrich Ziegler (- 1936), continued the modelling company.

The Carnegie Institute later in the early 1900's also developed many additional models based upon their own collection. (More? Carnegie Models)

Eye Models

Development history of the eye series 8b consists of 3 models of early eye development.

Model 1

Left primordial eye of 12 days old embryo. Images show model viewed laterally and from the external and internal view.

Model 2

Left primordial eye of 13 days old embryo, 9.6 mm greatest length. Images show model viewed laterally and from the external and internal view.

Model 3

Left primordial eye of 13 days old embryo, 10.5 mm greatest length. Images show model viewed laterally and from the external and internal view.
