Cell phenotypes in the early mouse embryo. (A) Gastrulating mouse embryo at embryonic day (E) 7.5. (C') Scanning electronic micrograph of a transverse section through a E7.5 mouse embryo showing the different cell phenotypes: columnar epithelium, mesenchyme and squamous epithelium. (B) Diagram of the embryonic part of a e7.5 mouse embryo. Dashed box outlines the three germ layers. (C) Scanning micrograph shown in (B and C') color-coded for the three germ layers.
