Mouse embryo (E12.5) dissection was performed so as to isolate and culture embryonic liver (last image). Liver appears red as during foetal development is the major site of erythropoiesis (i.e. the generation of blood cells). Third image shows the various developing internal organs of the GI tract at this point in the development of the embryo (i.e. after the outgrowth of the epithelium from the gut tube and the establishment of the various organ 'buds'). Images were taken from an iPhone 4 via a Leica stereomicroscope.
