Microscopic life in motion: Award-winning time-lapse videos reveal the growth of a bird embryo and even the insides a cell
From the construction of its fragile bone structure, to the development of individual organs and the sprouting of feathers - this video may make you think twice about eating quail eggs.
The winning embryo video was made by Dr. Gabriel G. Martins of The Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia and CBA in Lisbon. He created the time-lapse movie of a developing quail embryo using more than 1,000 separate images taken using a microscope. It has now been awarded first place in the third annual Nikon Instruments Small World in Motion photomicrography competition.
