<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Peter,<br>
<br>
my colleague Joachim Händel has been looking into this (recipes,
mixtures, etc.) for his book Makroskopische Präparationstechnik;
he might know producers (but I suspect that mercury salts have
been mixed into fixatives by preparators themselves)<br>

Would be interested to learn more about your work on sublimate in
museum collections - would appreciate if you could circulate a
link to the publication once your results are available.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
