Abstract

Dear Editor,

The topic of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation of casting of vessels in the embryo still holds our interest. We are particularly focused on the possibilities of early injection as a method to support angiogenesis and vasculogenesis research in the embryo. It is questionable whether our technique leads to unreliable results because of severe trauma to the embryo as suggested by the above mentioned authors. The lower success yield might very well be the result of the higher friability of the embryo in general in this young stage.
