Description
Octopus Tentacle Diaphanisation
Octopus vulgaris
The purpose of diaphanisation is to make fabrics transparent.
The fabrics are made transparent using a chemical process, and specific dyes are used.
The flesh is made transparent and the dyes attach themselves to the skin.
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
Height: 8cm Diameter: 2.5cm
