Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to non-destructively investigate the internal and external anatomy of embryos. This technique produces three-dimensional image arrays that can be volume-rendered and it allows the specimen to be dissected electronically to reveal structures of interest. These pages provide many sample images and movies of embryos, all acquired by MRI. There are also explanations of the techniques used to produce the images and movies, and information about how to order "The Digital Atlas of Mouse Embryology", a CD containing over two thousand images, and fifty quicktime movies.
