The Virtual Human Embryo
http://virtualhumanembryo
.lsuhsc.edu/
|
This is a digital image database of serially sectioned human embryos from the Carnegie collection. The aim of this website is to make the images from the Carnegie collection available for teaching and research purposes. The site has two components; the Digitally Reproduced Embryonic Morphology (DREM) project is the area with the images in. The aim of this area is to have a series of image databases, one for each of the 23 stages of embryo development, which will be available in full form on a CD. There are online demos available now for several stages, with more coming soon. These demos include 3D images of the embryo at that stage, different sections of the embryo at that stage and a scan mode which allows the user to view an animation of a scan through the sections of the embryo.
Copyright information:
The images and animations on this website are available for educational and personal use only. For a full database, a CD must be purchased.

Atlas of Histology
https://histo.life.illino
is.edu/
|
This website contains an extensive set of histology specimens with over 1000 labeled histological features accompanied by descriptions. The interface allows the magnification to be changed to allow the user to zoom in on any details of particular interest which is invaluable for histological images. The images are of high quality and a good source of information.

|
HEAL is a digital library of teaching materials for health sciences. The library consists of various types of multimedia which are accompanied by a set of metadata which includes a title, description, file size and display information. The images in this database are of good quality and excellent descriptions are provided. Some of the multimedia is available for download and others are only available online. The images were arranged into ten collections at the time of print although due to rapid expansion, further collections are being added all the time.

Wormatlas
http://www.wormatlas.org/
|
This site is a rapidly expanding resource providing information on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which is used as a model organism for the study of development. Within this site, there is a section on neuronal images which is colour-coded for ease of use, a Mind of a Worm section which provides comprehensive information on the nervous system of the worm and a TEM archive providing transmission electron micrographs (TEMs) of sections of the worm. There is also a slidable worm which allows the user to navigate through the TEMs in order and a wormtiler to allow viewing of the TEMs at high resolution. A very comprehensive site.

Images are available for personal and academic use if the wormatlas website is acknowledged. Visit http://www.wormatlas.org/copyRight.htm for details.

Human Embryology Animations from the University of Indiana
http://www.indiana.edu/~a
nat550/embryo_main/
|
This site includes useful animations on cardiovascular embryology, head and neck development, gastrointestinal embryology, limb development and urinary and reproductive embryology. Each section has a selection of animations along with pre-animation tests and post-animation tests to allow the user to determine how much has been learnt from the animation. The animations are accompanied by captions to clarify important points throughout. This is an excellent way to learn about human embryology for all levels.

agPage.html
|
This site provides 3D detail of zebrafish vascular anatomy. The information is provided by the Weinstein lab at the NIH. Zebrafish are a useful study model for developmental biology and this sort of information is useful to those studying this field. 3D fluorescent angiograms can be viewed of any region of the embryo at any stage of development from 1-7 days post-fertilisation. Although the images are standard, the descriptions are concise and accurate.

University of Minnesota WebAnatomy
http://msjensen.cehd.umn.
edu/webanatomy/
|
This site has an image database of excellent anatomical drawings of human organs, systems and cells.
The site is primarily set up as a resource for teaching anatomy; there is a section in question and answer form, dealing with anatomical structure, and general histology, along with medical terminology and the medical profession. There are numerous links to other resources concerned with human anatomy.
Copyright information:
The images are from The sourcebook of Medical Illustration, P.Cull, ed., The Parthenon Publishing Group, 1989, and are copyright-free as long as they are used for educational purposes.
