Female Dissection Demo Step 10
This illustration shows the abdomen and female genitalia positioned under small pieces of glass immersed in 100% ethanol. These structures should be allowed to dehydrate for at least 1 hour, and can be left for several days with no damage as long as the ethanol does not completely evaporate. If possible, it is recommended to allow the abdomen and genitalia to dehydrate overnight, and continue with slide preparation the following day.
