A little dark area on a screen.
That's the "amniotic sac". And the cursor is positioned over where we saw the heart beating.

The way the doc operated the machine sort of reminded me of the movie "Blade Runner", where Deckard is using his computer to scan an image for clues, and was telling it what grids to zoom in on or pan across to. Except the doc's computer wasn't voice activated. Still, he had to zoom in like 5 or 6 times before we could really get a good look at it.

The amniotic sac itself was immediately visible at first (which really surprised me. Isn't it supposed to be small?). But he had to zoom in on it a whole bunch of times before we could see the heart flutterings.
