Mongolian Rotifers on Micr oscope Slides: Instructions to Permanent Specimen Mounts from Expedition Material
We here describe a method for permanently mounting specimens on microscope slides, as we applied it in the newly established rotifer collection in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The liquid photopolymer NOA 61 was used as a primary sealant for pure glycerine mounts....

| description | We
here describe a method for permanently mounting specimens on microscope slides, as
we applied it in the newly established rotifer collection in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The liquid
photopolymer NOA 61 was used as a primary sealant for pure glycerine mounts. We furthermore
outline simple methods of rotifer narcotization and fi xation in the fi eld that yield, for the majority of
species, adequately preserved specimen material for further preparation and identifi cation purposes. |
