Reconstruction of embryos prepared for kaufman's the atlas of mouse development. (A) Midline longitudinal section from the embryo displayed in plate 5 a-e of The Atlas of Mouse Development. Scale bar: 100 μm (B) Transverse slice at the level of the dashes in A after 3D computer reconstruction of the consecutive sections of the embryo used for plate 5 a-e. The pixelation is mainly due to the thickness of the sections (7 μm), compared with the 0.34 μm resolution in A. (C) Longitudinal section of another embryo from Kaufman's collection. This embryo was not included in The Atlas of Mouse Development. (D) Transverse slice at the level of the dashes in C after 3D computer reconstruction of the consecutive sections of the embryo. Dashes in D indicates the level of the section shown in C. Abbreviations: ACF: amniochorionic fold; Albud: allantoic bud; EC: exocoelomic cavity; ExEc: extraembryonic ectoderm; PAC: proamniotic cavity.
