Ever wonder what slicing a quail embryo into a thousand slices would look like when animated?

This 3D reconstruction of a quail embryo – comprised of more than 1,000 separate images – shows in startling clarity and detail the anatomy of the specimen. The winning video shows a sequence of “virtual” slices through the whole embryo with 10 days of (in egg) gestation. With this technique, studying the whole anatomy of large specimens like this embryo (23mm long) is possible.

I thought it was pretty neat

1. What's really cool is when they separate each system so they can stand alone....

So you can see just the lymph system, or the circulatory system, or the nervous system.

2. After careful reflection

I can say with a fair amount of confidence that this question has never crossed my mind.
Ever.
But I watched the film anyway, so thanks.

3. Fascinating, but I can honestly say I never wondered about it

4. Never ever wondered about that. I am beginning to wonder about those who do wonder about .....

baby quail fetuses purposely relieved of their own animation and given a virtual animation by someone's iPhone for the entertainment of those who wondered about this kind of stuff. And yes, I will eat quail.
