[NHCOLL-L:1531] fish scale collection

[Jessica Rosales]

Good morning,

Does anyone have experience with maintaining a fish scale collection?  We 
would like to start one here, but would much rather get it right from the 
start.  Our thoughts were to place the scales, when dry, between two slides 
and seal the edges with silicone.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

-Jess
