Extract

Various enzymes have been successfully localized in whole specimens of several groups of marine animals up to 5 mm body thickness. With certain exceptions the animals are fixed for a short time and then incubated in media modified from those designed for sections. After incubation the specimens are stored in fixative or buffer for later serial sectioning back at the laboratory.
