Description

A 13 day chick embryo that has been stained to highlight the skeleton. The blue stain shows cartilage, while the red indicates areas that have started to form bone. The other tissues have been partly dissolved by chemicals to show this more clearly. The row of blue rings in the neck shows the cartilage rings of the trachea (windpipe). Biomedical Image Awards 1997.
