Back to Introduction

As Embryo #836 is one of the best examples in the Carnegie collection it has been the subject of many studies. Several reconstructions were made by Osborne O. Heard and H. M. Evans, using methods developed by Gustav Born.

These models have been used in studies of embryonic development and are illustrated in the monograph "Developmental Stages in Human Embryos", by Ronan O'Rahilly and Fabiola Müller.
