<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>For our new exhibitions we have some fluid preserved (ethanol) specimens that will be on display for the public. For dry mounted specimens we have lighting guidelines but for fluid preserved specimens it is thought that there are no restrictions because ethanol does fade the colors anyway. I think that light can decolorate a fluid specimen too so that we need some standards for them aswell. </div><div><br></div><div>I am curious what others use as a light regime for fluid specimens. How long and under what lightstrength (lux) do you exhibit an alchol specimen to make sure it does not fade too much? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_5966848820607234657gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><font face="Arial">Many thanks,</font></div><div><font face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial"><br></font></div><font face="Arial">Esther Dondorp</font>
