What is in the Atlas A CD disc (for the Macintosh) is available with over 4,000 slice images and 50 QuickTime® movies depicting normal mouse embryology. They are organized with a very intuitive interface (developed with Allegiant's SuperCard software) for displaying this impressive collection of three-dimensional magnetic resonance microscopy image data. The atlas is an image atlas and does not contain labels for anatomical structures. This atlas contains magnetic resonance images of normal mouse embryos from 9.5 days after conception to the newborn. The images include dramatic surface view movies as well as cross-sectional views from the transverse, coronal, and sagittal planes for each embryo. A variety of movies have also been included to demonstrate growth of the embryos and to present visualization tools available for studying and documenting embryonic anatomy. These images were acquired and organized into this atlas to facilitate the otherwise very tedious and difficult process of learning embryology, and to arouse interest in the important topic of developmental biology. These images are also organized as a reference for researchers who want to understand better the embryological anatomy of their own images and to understand how their images relate to the whole embryo at many stages of development. Macintosh System Requirements CD drive, at least 6 MB available RAM (12 MB preferred), a monitor 13 inches or larger, support for at least 256 colors (8-bits) although thousands of colors (16-bits) are preferred, operating system 7.0 or higher, QuickTime® 2.0 or higher, 2.5 MB hard drive space. Windows Version We are anxious to make these data as widely available as possible. We will release the Windows version of the atlas as soon as this is feasible.
