Wet Specimen Chick | 65mm Glass Dome

Wet Specimen Chick | 65mm Glass Dome

This chick is wearing eyeliner!

It's so beautiful and such a large chick, it's only a few days old. Unfortunately I found him/her passed in the brooder due to unknown reasons with no real signs of external distress or reason for the death that could be seen so it must have been something internal and perhaps inevitable.

This chick is in a 65mm glass dome with a black base.

Fixation:

Fixation is achieved using a 10% clear formalin; formalin creates a chemical crosslink between proteins within the tissue structure. This is called fixing, and it prevents decomposition from occurring if done correctly by injection of the internals and soaking for a prolonged period of time to allow each specimen to fully preserve.

 

Solution:

The specimen is then taken from the formalin and soaked in distilled water for approximately 24 hours. This removes the formalin that has fixed the tissue and leaves the tissue fixed as the formalin is no longer needed.

This chick is suspended in 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Keep out of direct sunlight.
