Abstract
A method for making permanent whole mounts of flat and round worms is described. The specimens are mounted in a drop of acid fuchsin lacto-phenol on a slide and warmed for 6 hours at 60°C. The acid fuchsin is replaced by light cotton-blue (anilin blue, W. S.) in lacto-phenol, till the desired contrast is obtained. After this, the forms are mounted in pure lacto-phenol, using the coverglass. The margin of the coverglass is sealed with the sealing media devised by Dade and Waller (equal parts of damar balsam and beeswax)
