Abstract
Objective: To comparatively study the use of scanning electron microscopy and conventional light microscopy of the transverse
sections of the 7-10 somite staged chick embryos as model for the study of development of human embryo.
Methods: Conventional light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy had been applied as tools for the study of the
chick embryos.
Results: The results showed that scanning electron micrographs gave the clearer different views of chick embryo transverse
sections as compared with the conventional light microscopy.
Conclusion: From this study it was clearly shown that the three dimensional images obtained from scanning electron microscope
could give comprehensive view of chick embryo specimens. Hence this should be the good alternative way for Embryology study.
