Mouse embryo, prepared specimen C018 / 0318
Mouse embryo. Macrophotograph of a prepared specimen of a mouse embryo after around 16 days of development. It has been made translucent and its skeleton stained with Alizarin red dye. The head is at top. The backbone runs down right, with the forelimbs below the mouth and the hind limbs and tail at bottom. Mice breed rapidly, with a gestation period of a few weeks, producing a litter of 3-12 young that are born naked and blind

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a mouse embryo during its developmental stage. Prepared with meticulous care, specimen C018 / 0318 offers a mesmerizing macrophotograph that reveals the delicate details of this tiny creature after approximately 16 days of growth. The translucent nature of the embryo allows us to witness its skeletal structure, which has been artfully stained with Alizarin red dye. The head takes center stage at the top, while the backbone gracefully extends down towards the right side. Below the mouth, we can observe the forelimbs, and at the bottom lies a glimpse of both hind limbs and tail. Mice are known for their rapid breeding abilities, boasting a gestation period lasting only a few weeks. This remarkable process results in litters consisting of 3-12 young ones who enter this world naked and blind. Such resilience and adaptability make mice fascinating subjects for scientific study. With its blue background serving as an artistic backdrop, this photograph captures not just an image but also our curiosity about animal anatomy and embryology. Every bone is meticulously displayed in this lateral view cutout – from ribs to limbs – providing valuable insights into murine development. As we delve into this snapshot from Clouds Hill Imaging Ltd/Science Photo Library, we embark on an exploration into wildlife's wonders through biological lenses—unveiling secrets hidden within each vertebrae column and celebrating life's incredible journey from conception to birth.
