  1. Image A shows a stage of neurulation in a chick embryo, and image B is a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a transverse section through the level indicated by the line in image A.
Image A shows a chick embryo with a line indicating a transverse section. Image B is a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of that transverse section, showing the neural tube and ectoderm.
