Makroskopische Präparationstechnik

This book supports practical fieldwork and excursions, as well as the scientific processing of collections, through its clarity, comprehensibility, illustrative drawings, and comprehensive literature references. Almost all chapters include sections on collecting, preparing, and preserving, often with special notes on particular techniques or specimen characteristics. The extensive and expanded appendix on the preparation of the most commonly used solutions also provides excellent conditions for applying macroscopic preparation techniques. This essential reference book for the training and education of preparators, custodians, and curators of zoological collections is also utilized by anyone who needs to know where, how, and when to find certain invertebrate species, and which preparation methods are most suitable.
