=Embryo details=

Species: Gallus gallus domesticus Embryo Name: RC001 Embryo stage: ST29 Staging description: Staged by Reuben according to the Hamburger and Hamilton (1951) staging system. ( Notebook entry 10th January 2011). Staging has not been confirmed. Fixation:PFA Cryoprotection: None. Material label and storage: Stored in vial filled with PFA labeled RC-012 and placed in a container labeled 'Reuben's staged embryos' next to the dissection microscope.
 * Beak beginning to form (>ST26).
 * 3 visible toes have formed (>ST25).
 * Visceral cleft not visible (>ST26).
 * Heart enclosed.
 * Beak shape matches ST28-ST29.
 * Neck region is thinner than ST28 (therefore ST29).

=Experiment details=

Objective: To use as a practice embryo for staging. Procedure: Staged the embryo by observing the embryo under a dissection microscope and comparing its morphological properties with those described in the Hamburger and Hamilton (1951) paper whilst looking at our own compilation of images organized by stage. Comments:

=Results=

Embryo is approximately ST29

=Images= =Summary=

This embryo may be used in further experiments as approximately a ST29 embryo however confirmation is needed.
