i/ What is Embryo View?
EmbryoView allows you to interactively view the 3D embryo model from
various angles. Also included is the option of simply playing mpeg movies
of the embryo model rotating in space.
 |
Embryo models ranging from TS07 to TS14 (ie. those reconstructed
from serial sections containing defined anatomical domains) can
be viewed with or without various pre-selected 3D anatomical domains
highlighted.
The viewer provides interactive 3D images that can be rotated.
In some cases the images can be rotated in two dimensions i.e.
"over-the-top" (OTT).
Embryo models ranging from TS15 to TS19 (ie. those reconstructed
by OPT) do not have defined anatomical domains within them and
cannot be viewed with anatomical regions highlighted. |
ii/ What do I need to run Embryo View?
You only need a Java enabled Web Browser to use Embryo View. See ‘What
software do I need to run the emap
Atlas?’ for suggested Web Browsers to use with your computer’s
operating system if you have problems.
iii/ How do I use Embryo View?
To open Embryo View for a particular Theiler Stage, click on the link
that appears underneath the Section Browser for that stage.
A new page will open with a number of embryo images showing the embryo
model with or without various sets of pre-selected 3D anatomical domains
highlighted.
Click on the image you want to see and a new ‘applet’ window
will open (if you are not using the CD version of the Atlas, this may
take a short while – please be patient). When the image is loaded
you can use your cursor to move the 3D image around by clicking on the
image.
Alternatively, view mpeg movies of the embryo model spinning in space.
Click on the ‘view as mpeg movie’ link
beside the appropriate image and the movie will start.
