A tool 14 of the endoscope 40 projects to a position to extract the embryo washed into a container 144 of the tool 40 which is then closed by moving a closure part 146 to enclose the embryo and extracting the endoscope 40 to remove the embryo for transfer to a recipient animal. The fluid into the container 141 can be controlled in pressure to maintain a required pressure generally 10 matching that inside the uterus. FIGURE 5 FOR PUBLICATIONto V 4) C) U.) C U.) U) 4.)
