This research note is on the chick egg and an examination of the presence of structures in cross-sections of chick embryos during 4 stages of development. In a previous repot, the structures in whole mounts had been discussed. Although similarities exist between whole mounts and cross-sectioned examined glass slides, there are major differences when cross-sections are examined. This paper highlights the main structures seen using light microscopy.
