Embryoscopy And Fetoscopy

These cool color photos are obtained by using an embryoscope: a tiny camera the size of a pen tip. The e-scope, as I like to call it, is inserted through an incision in the abdomen and gently placed on the amniotic membrane. The results of this contact embryoscopy are spectacular!
