Image represents 45 optical sections through the embryo, each 10 um thick, digitally merged and colored. The first three branches on the left side of the paired aortic arches are easily distinguished with the antibody to type VI collagen, as are all chambers and the truncus arteriosus with the antibody to cardiac troponin T.
