<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I just visited the small Natural History Museum in Postdam (W of
Berlin); they have a large variety of amazing, full plastinated
mounts (mostly mammals, up to the size of a otter. This could be
an idea, even though I have to admit that I have no practical
experience how you would prepare the larvae.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

I received this e-mail from a colleague and wasn't able to
help. Does anyone know if it's possible to mount fish larvae
on slides?

<p class="x_MsoNormal">We have a few larval specimens that we
would like to show under a microscope at an upcoming meeting
with a group of electric utilities. My boss wanted me to
look into whether we could easily mount a specimen on a
glass slide (with a depression) in a way that will allow it
to be held in place, viewed through a microscope, and also
not dry out. Maybe in glycerine, toluene, or agar? I looked
online and was unable to find any information about
preserving and displaying larval fish on slides and wanted
to check with you to see if you had any suggestions or knew
of any procedures. It does not need to be preserved in good
condition for too long, at least a couple weeks. Also, being
able to do the same thing with eggs would be helpful. Any
information or suggestions you can provide would be helpful.
Thanks for your time!</p>
