Improved techniques for making gross parasite specimens
Objective To explore and improve the production techniques of traditional gross parasite specimens and enrich the types of teaching specimens.Methods The parasite specimens were embedded in epoxy resin AB(crystal drop glue),and the gross specimen of crystal drop glue parasite was prepared after curing and demudding.The specimen jar and preservation solution were not used in the production process.Results The crystal drops made by technical modiffication had high transparency,clear structure,light weight,easy observation and permanent preservation.Conclusion The preservation effect of parasite crystal drops could overcome many shortcomings of traditional liquid-liquid immersion specimen making and should be suitable for the current high circulation and fast pace of laboratory teaching.
