Visualizing Vertebrate Embryos with Episcopic 3D Imaging Techniques

Visualizing Vertebrate Embryos with Episcopic 3D Imaging Techniques

The creation of highly detailed, three-dimensional (3D) computer models is essential in order to understand the evolution and development of vertebrate embryos, and the pathogenesis of hereditary diseases. A still-increasing number of methods allow for generating digital volume data sets as the basi...
