Block-face HREM imaging of embryonic cardiovascular system

Imaging of Cardiovascular Development

Visualise heart chambers, valves, and vessels in full 3D using high-resolution block-face microscopy.

Imaging for Embryonic Heart and Vessel Morphology

HREM provides the option to visualise embryonic hearts and blood vessels at early stage in high resolution with clear 3D contrast, without sample clearing.

Whether you're studying congenital heart defects, vascular remodelling, or embryonic cardiac morphogenesis, HREM provides the resolution and accuracy needed for reliable insight.

Why Choose HREM for Cardiac and Vascular Imaging

Whole Heart 3D Imaging

Capture entire embryonic or neonatal hearts at high resolution without distortion.

Morphological Defect Detection

Detect separation defects valve anomalies and abnormal chamber formation.

Detailed Vasculature Imaging

Image coronary cranial and systemic vessels down to fine branches.

Quantitative Analysis

Achieve accurate 3D models for volume, thickness and more.

High-Contrast Soft Tissue Imaging

Consistent and excellent contrast and clarity across myocardium, valves and vessels.

Applications for HREM in Cardiovascular Research

  • Congenital heart defect screening in mouse and chick embryos

  • Vascular remodelling and pattern studies

  • Quantifying heart volume or wall thickness

  • Cardiovascular toxicity or teratogen exposure analysis
