Extract
A method is described for staining the musculature of preserved salps with Rose Bengale and reforming their natural shape by injecting the body cavity with molten agar. Compared with normal preserved material, specimens prepared in this way are easy to handle, more lifelike in appearance and the detailed arrangement of their musculature is clearly differentiated in three dimensions.
