To overcome this defect various devices have been employed. Probably the most conimon iriethotl in use is the wc.ighting of the edge5 of the Mastodenn with pieces of glass or lead. Glasb is rather difficult to manipulate in such sniall piectts and not infrequently ~lirs from the forceps to tear th(x blnstodcrm or to destroy the embryo. For this reason weights are unsatisfactory e-pecially for beginners. hiother method is to cut a ring of filter-paper large cnough to eiwirclt, the einhryo and a portion of thcl extra embryonic membranes, and tht 11 to press this ring down onto the I~lastoderin with the embryo in the ~11- closrd space. There are at least two wrious ohjvctions to this process. In thc first place, if the paper acllicrc~s properly and the membrane, ha\ C’ Imqi stretched a little too iniicli, th(. tissues will tear as they shrink in tlica reagents. In thtl second plac~ there i+ no way of removing TI - A method for handling chick embryos JF - The Anatomical Record : Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology DO - 10.1002/ar.1090050805 DA - 1911-08-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/a-method-for-handling-chick-embryos-CD5u2BGg1Q SP - 391 EP - 393 VL - 5 IS - 8 DP - DeepDyve ER -
