Diaphanization of a mouse - Mus musculus
Biological preparation
The aim of diaphanization is to render the tissues transparent through a chemical process, and specific dyes are used to highlight the skeleton.
You can see the bones through the skin!
Here, the preparation was done in such a way that the skin was removed from only half of the specimen.
Diaphanization of a mouse - Mus musculus
The aim of diaphanization is to make bones transparent and visible through the flesh.
The tissues are made transparent by a chemical process, and specific dyes are used to highlight the skeleton.
You can see the bones through the flesh!
Here, the preparation was done in such a way that the skin was removed from only half of the specimen.
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
