I will be curious to see what others write, but I have a parasite collection, and researchers who work on nematomorph parasites very frequently have to designate characters that are only found in SEM for species differentiation. So I have two of the desiccator
glass bowls, probably like you have, and that is where they are. And because right now only the nematomorphs are in there, all the material is holotype or other type material.</div>

Hope this helped some!</div>

<div>Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have received a request to deposit a holotype of a protist into our collection, but the specimen was used for SEM. We have desiccation chambers for storing SEM stubs for working research, but I wanted to know if there is a best practice for long-term
storage of SEM specimens that are designated holotypes/type material. Do other collections utilize sequestered chambers for type material, or is there another way to store unicellular type material that was coated?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for all of your input and suggestions,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Katrina<br>
