You might have questions regarding the embryos’ size (or any kinds of size problems) during embryognesis. This page provides you a chance to investigate your questions. NIH image (for Mac) and Scion (for PC) are programs that allow you to measure the size of an object, gather data from that object, and export data to other programs to plot a graph. Other functions of these programs can be found in the users’ manual of these two programs.
Cells are measured in micrometres/microns (µm).
Wild type – Size: 55 (µm in width) X 30 (µm in height), Magnification: 1000X
Mutant 1 – Size: 55 (µm in width) X 30 (µm in height), Magnification: 1000X
Mutant 2 – Size: 55 (µm in width) X 30 (µm in height), Magnification: 1000X
Mutant 3 – Size: 55 (µm in width) X 30 (µm in height), Magnification: 1000X
Mutant 4 – Size: 55 (µm in width) X 30 (µm in height), Magnification: 1000X
