=Embryo details=

Species: Gallus gallus domesticus Embryo Name: RC008 Embryo stage: ST24 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-008 and placed in a container labeled 'Reuben's staged embryos' next to the dissection microscope.
 * Eye is pigmented (>ST21).
 * Leg bud and wing bud are roughly the same size.
 * Limb buds are distinctively longer than they are wider.
 * Dorsal contour of trunk is curved.
 * 2nd Visceral arch distinctly protrudes across the ventral surface of embryo.

=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 ST24

=Images= =Summary=

This embryo may be used in further experiments as approximately a ST24 embryo however confirmation is needed.
