title: Micro-injections in the avian embryo: technical notes.
abstract: Procedures and instrumentation are described for making micro-injections into early avian embryos. Tools for implementing injection include support probes and micro-cannula adapters, both of which greatly reduce embryonic insult. Using these instruments, viability following certain early embryonic injections has been shown to increase from 29 to 95%.
