Final stages of maturation in O. vulgaris (Part 2). Bright-field images of O. vulgaris embryos from Stage XIX.2 to XX.2 from the posterior, lateral and anterior side. The chromatophore pattern (number, size and color) and the size of the external yolk sack can be used to distinguish the different stages before hatching. After the second reversion between Stage XIX.1 and XIX.2, (premature) hatching can occur. Scale bars represent 200 μm
