<p class="MsoNormal">This works best if you have flat-sided, wide-mouthed jars. Tie the specimen to a sturdy piece of white paper, like matting used for frames. Pack the jar with cotton behind mounted specimen to hold the specimen against the glass. The pictures
show the front and side view of a teaching collection specimen displayed this way.

<p class="MsoNormal">I am putting together a small exhibit for our vertebrate collection and am interested in placing a small number of fluid-preserved specimens out on display. I am looking for recommendations for jars that both protect the specimens while
on display while also making them more viewable at a variety of angles without distortion of the sides of the jar or obstruction from the lid. The specimens are relatively small and can fit in a 16 fl. oz. jar. Thank you in advance!<o:p></o:p></p>
