	Embryo sizes and magnification shown here are approximate.
	Thoughts: You might have questions regarding the embryos' size (or any kinds of size problems) during embryognesis. This page provides you a chance to investigate your questions. A link to tools, "NIH image" or "Scion", which allows you to measure the size of an embryo during embryogenesis, is available at the bottom of the page. NIH image and Scion are programs that allow you to measure the size of an object, gather data from that object, and export data to other programs to plot a graph. Other functions of these programs can be found in the users' manual of these two programs.

WT (5.6 MB) Size: 55 (mm in width) X 30 (mm in height), Magnification: 1000X
Mutant 1 (2 MB) Size: 55 (mm in width) X 30 (mm in height), Magnification: 1000X	Mutant 2 (2.4 MB) Size: 55 (mm in width) X 30 (mm in height), Magnification: 1000X
Mutant 3 (1 MB) Size: 55 (mm in width) X 30 (mm in height), Magnification: 1000X	Mutant 4 (1.8 MB) Size: 55 (mm in width) X 30 (mm in height), Magnification: 1000X

Two Programs, NIH image(for Mac) and Scion (for PCs), can be used to measure the size of the embryos. These two programs can be downloaded from the web here.

Also, a brief description on how to take pictures of your working screen and open a picture in NIH image is here.
