Abstract
Top: Illustration of how to obtain 3D embryo images from a locust egg using OCT B-scans. The internal structures of the embryo can be clearly identified as it develops.
Bottom: The real time observation of katatrepsis and twist of a lowland locust embryo on days 7-8, as the embryo develops. The embryonic movements can be readily identified by tracking the positions of the embryo's eyes (E1 and E2).
