We also use this mixture in wet mounts around the cover slip, they can be preserved for weeks if done right.<br />Just like Florida Fan said, arthopods don't cooperate to be seen by students, specially eyes from Loxosceles laeta, so we put them in the freezer for 15 minutes, it's the best way we found to authanize them and preserve its morphology prior to fixation.<br /><br /><br /><br />-HLCM fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-53033335178326813592016-06-14T10:56:00.737-05:002016-06-14T10:56:00.737-05:00Too fun and too clever - thanks x 400.

The rectum may be prolapsed.<br />Strawberry cervix refers to a cervix with red petechiae from a Trichomonas vaginalis infection.<br />Your suggestions on mounting arthropods are very useful in a training setting. Most difficulties lie in the fact that the arthropods move around and do not co-operate with us,and if we euthanize them, they will only look dead. To overcome this, it may be useful to anesthetize them with CO2 prior to euthanization and mounting.<br /><br />Florida FanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
