Blood flow measurements from three extraembryonic vessels. (a) Depth (y-axis) vs. time (x-axis) Doppler M-mode (blue) superimposed over M-mode OCT scans of Vessel 2. (b) SDV measurement taken along the dotted horizontal line in (a) shows the blood flow velocity dynamics as a function of time for all three vessels (Vessel 1-red, Vessel 2-green, Vessel 3-blue). (c) Velocity profile along the dotted vertical line in (a) for all three vessels. (table) Measured diameter, volumetric flow and shear rates for all three vessels. Scale bar = 100 µm.
