In this movie micrographs of cross sections through the embryo of a chicken are shown together with descriptions on the visible structures, like the neural fold. Furthermore, views of serial sections from tail to head have been mounted together to an animation (original version from the eighties) so that developmental gradients from tail to head, particularly with regards to the formation of the neural tube and the gut, become evident. This considerable job has been carried out on two different series.
A similar stage of development has been accurately described in the historical book "Patten, B.M. (1920). The Early Embryology of the Chick. Philadelphia: P. Blakiston's Son and Co." Clickon the thumbnail here left for a zoom view.
