This perspective describes how our understanding of sea urchin development has been enabled by advances in technology. The early conceptual discoveries that put the sea urchin embryo on the research map had to wait until technologies were available to explain how those concepts worked. The explanatory phase continues as a number of mechanisms continue to be understood in ever greater detail, all made possible by further technical advances.
这一观点阐述了技术进步如何推动我们对海胆发育的理解。早期那些将海胆胚胎置于研究版图的概念性发现，不得不等待技术出现，以便解释这些概念是如何发挥作用的。随着一系列机制不断被更深入地理解，解释阶段仍在持续，而这一切都得益于进一步的技术进步。
