Diaphanization of a cat foetus - Felis catus (Not full term)

This is mainly used for animals too small to be prepared for osteology in the conventional way, or to study ossification sequences, for example.
The flask contains no formalin, as the specimens are fixed prior to preparation.
They are then placed in these flasks filled with pure glycerine and thymol crystals, whose function is to preserve tissues and combat mold.
The animals are not killed to end up in these jars; they are often fetuses or stillborn animals, foodstuffs or animal feed, etc
