Five mouse embryos prepared by the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at University College, London, in 1999. Used to study limb development, one embryo has an extra 'finger' and another has just one 'finger'. The other three mouse embryos show normal limb development as a comparison.

Jar containing mouse embryo preserved in liquid, with normal limb development

A mouse embryo preserved in liquid, with normal limb development, prepared by the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at University College, London, 1999. Used as a comparison with embryos with a genetic variation causing abnormal limb development. The skeleton is stained to show bone in blue and cartilage in pink (see note).
