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. The first version of this technology was the transmission electron microscope (TEM).

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 made available by Prof Kathy Sulik of the early developing human embryo between week 3 to 5 (Carnegie stage 7 to 14) available: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14.
