Frog embryo, light micrograph
Frog embryo. Light micrograph of a frog embryo at the blastula stage. This stage in the embryos development is produced by the cleavage (cell division) of a fertilised ovum (egg cell). At this point the embryo is a hollow ball of cells surrounding a central fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel. The outer layer of cells is known as the blastoderm. At bottom is the vegetal pole, which will develop into the endoderm. The endoderm forms the digestive tract, glands and the lungs. Magnification: x30 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of a frog embryo at the blastula stage. The image, taken using a light microscope, showcases the remarkable process of cell division and development in these tiny creatures. At this stage, which is produced by the cleavage of a fertilized egg cell, the embryo takes on the form of a hollow ball composed of cells surrounding a central fluid-filled cavity known as the blastocoel. The outer layer of cells is referred to as the blastoderm. In this mesmerizing micrograph, we can observe various key features. At the bottom lies the vegetal pole, which will eventually develop into an essential part called endoderm. This vital layer gives rise to crucial structures such as digestive tracts, glands, and even lungs. The magnification used for this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail present in this developing organism. With each passing moment during embryonic development, nature's wonders unfold before our eyes. This photograph serves not only as an awe-inspiring piece showcasing nature's incredible ability to create life but also provides valuable insights into developmental biology and reproductive processes. It reminds us that within every single living being lies an extraordinary journey from conception to birth—a testament to both science and artistry captured by Science Photo Library.
