Movies: Animations illustrating Xenopus development



Xenopus laevis

Stages Movie Author Content
NF Stage 4 to NF Stage 8 Bernhard Strauss and Nancy Papalopulu Xenopus laevis early cleavage stages
NF Stage 9 to NF Stage 23 Huw Williams and James Smith Xenopus laevis gastrula through neurula stages
NF Stage 13 to NF Stage 28 Enrique Amaya Xenopus laevis embryo from the neurula stage through to hatching
Single Cell to Blastula Huw Williams and James Smith Cleavage from one cell to blastula stage embryo.
Single Cell to Gastrula Huw Williams and James Smith

Synchronous development of Xenopus laevis embryos during early embryogenesis. Gastrulation follows the synchronous cleavage stages, and migrating involuted mesoderm can be seen underlying the prospective ectoderm cells.
Gastrulation Mike Danilchik A morph of confocal optical sections illustrating the internal movements during gastrulation.
Gastrulation Ray Keller, digitized by Jeff Hardin A dorsal surface view of gastrulating embryo.
Gastrulation through Neurulation and Tailbud Huw Williams and James Smith Time lapse dorsal view.
