EMBRYOLOGY
The chicken embryo develops inside the egg for roughly 21 days after the hen lays the egg. During these 21 days, major body parts form and become visible - first to the microscope, then to the naked eye. Join us for a day-by-day journey through the life-cycle of the developing chick.

EGG MATH
The egg has many interesting mathematical properties. How can we describe its surface mathematically? How can we divide an egg equally amongst our friends? How can we roughly determine how many cells are in a chick? A series of interactive Java applets make answering these questions (and more!) fun.

MRI DATABASE
Search our database of over 2000 MR images taken during the Chickscope 1.0 project in 1996. Search on the day of development, the quality of the image, image orientation, and other fields.

BIOLOGICAL IMAGING
Discover how the MR images found in the database were created, how the MRI system works, and how the MRI operator, by varying a few values can enhance certain features of the chick embryo.

NIH IMAGE
The NIH Image software package can be used to analyze MRI images taken from the database. This brief, three-part tutorial will teach you how to use some of NIH Image's many features.
