Permanent preparations of stained whole‐body sections using ‘Trycolac‘

Abstract

SUMMARY Permanent preparations of whole‐body sections cut by Ullberg's technique can be prepared using a ‘spray‐on’ mountant (‘Trycolac’), which does away with the necessity for glass slides and coverslips. Routine staining methods can be used, providing the alcohol content of the stain is low. Glycerol is used for dehydration and clearing and a covering of ‘Trycolac’ is sprayed on.
