Scanning electron microscope image of Strongylocentrotus drobachiensus [sea urchin] at the gastrula stage. Embryo was split open to reveal the blastocoel cavity. There are several migrating mesenchyme...

Scanning electron microscope image of Strongylocentrotus drobachiensus [sea urchin] embryo at the late gastrula stage. Embryo was cut to reveal blastocoel cavity. The fertilization envelope dissolves ...

Zebrafish Notogenesis and Early Neurulation. Mediolateral intercalation produces convergent-extension of the notochordal rudiment. Cells within the center of the notochord elongate and are incorporate...

Scanning electron microscope image of Strongylocentrotus drobachiensus [sea urchin] at the gastrula stage. Embryo was split open to reveal a nice cross-section through the outer epithelial layer and t...

Individual deep cell moving by circus movements. Fundulus heteroclitus(killifish) embryo injected with GFP-actin plasmid at 1-cell stage, filmed during gastrulation. Image made available through Zebra...

Zebrafish embryo showing the alignment of cells involved in the formation of the neural tube, which will become the spinal cord and brain.

Yolk syncytial layer cell nuclei exhibit convergence and extension behaviors during late gastrulation. Video made available by Mark Cooper through Zebrafish - The Living Laboratory.
