Abstract—
A noninvasive procedure for ultrasound imaging is developed to study the structure of fish embryos and measuring the speed of sound in their tissues. Loach (Misgurnus fossilis) eggs growing in the immersion cell of a device are examined using an acoustic microscope with a central frequency of 50 MHz. The speed of sound in the yolk and cell layer (blastula) of the embryo is measured at developmental stages 6–8.
