Learning on ScreenDozen Eggs, A: Time-Lapse Microscopy of Normal Development (12 Parts)
- Synopsis
- Shows normal development in a wide range of organisms, using real-time and time-lapse cinemicrography to demonstrate major cellular rearrangements. The diversity of embryonic patterns by shown by the way several different organisms solve common problems.

Sections
- Title
- Sea urchin development
- Synopsis
- 1 (5 min): 'Lytechinus' urchins: fertilisation, cleavage, mesenchyme ingression and low-power gastrulation of 'L. pictus' and high-power gastrulation and spicule formation of 'L. variegatus' embryos.
- Title
- Slime mold morphogenesis
- Synopsis
- 2 (6 min): Life cycle of 'Dictyostelium discoideum', a slime mould.
- Title

- Synopsis
- 7 (3 min): Sequences of normal development in the sea squirt 'Styela clava'.
- Title
- Frog gastrulation
- Synopsis
- 8 (2 min): Sequence of frog gastrulation of the African claw-toed frog 'Xenopus laevis'.
- Title
- Zebrafish development
- Synopsis

- Title
- Killfish deep cell migration
- Synopsis
- 10 (3 min): Sequences of cell migration in fish embryos using the killifish 'Fundulus heteroclitus'.
- Title
- Chicken organogenesis
- Synopsis
- 11 (2 min): Sequences of normal embryogenesis of White Rock chickens.
- Title
- Mouse development to blastocyst
- Synopsis
