Laboratory Studies of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Embryos: Guide & Atlas of Descriptive & Experimental Development (8th Edition)

Laboratory Studies is the most comprehensive laboratory guide available in the field of developmental biology and embryology. It is the only manual to integrate a laboratory--combining descriptive and experimental studies on living embryos--with a complete atlas of embryonic development viewed from the most technologically enhanced viewpoints (including many scanning electron micrographs). It features broad coverage (sea urchin, frog, chick, mouse, and pig--all popular educational and research models) and is the only guide to provide detailed descriptions of a wide-range of developing stages. Sea Urchin Embryos. Frog Embryos. Chick Embryos. Mouse Embryos. Pig Embryos. Contains hands-on 22 exercises for studying living embryos and 9 additional exercises for advanced hands-on studies, all relatively simple to conduct. For anyone interested in Developmental Biology, Embryology, Cell and Developmental Biology, Experimental Embryology and Experimental Developmental Biology.
