“At the Department of Forensic Medicine at the Karolinska Institutet, we have long studied the earliest stages of human development. Around thirty human embryos of varying ages have been carefully examined in the Japanese scanning electron microscope JEOL type JSM-U3 and photographed using a Hasselblad camera specially mounted in front of the microscope’s display screen, equipped with lens accessories for close-range imaging of objects.”
