Whole Mounts for Light Microscopy

  • Chapter
Hydra: Research Methods

Abstract

To prepare whole mounts, thereby enabling one to study large areas of hydra in a single microscopic field in which spatial relationships are preserved between cells, and also to preserve experimental animals for future microscopic analyses.
