A necessary part of the process was to put the specimen, while immersed in the solution, in a desiccator and turn it on, in order to get air bubbles out and pull as much of the liquid into existing cavities.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Cheers Tom<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Tom Schiøtte<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Natural History Museum of Denmark (Zoology)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Universitetsparken 15<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'>DK-2100 Copenhagen OE<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'>Denmark<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:DA'>TSchioette@snm.ku.dk<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:DA'>Fra:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:DA'> nhcoll-l-bounces@mailman.yale.edu [mailto:nhcoll-l-bounces@mailman.yale.edu] <b>På vegne af </b>Mandy Reid<br><b>Sendt:</b> 24. juli 2013 01:18<br><b>Til:</b> 'nhcoll-l@mailman.yale.edu'<br><b>Emne:</b> [Nhcoll-l] Rehydration question<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Does anyone have a method to rehydrate mollusc specimens that have dried in jars?
