Place the genital capsule into a Syracuse dish with clean water. While holding with a brush, gently remove any remaining scales or pieces
of the abdomen that may have become detached with the genitalia. Forceps may be required to remove debris. Once the genitalia is clean,
it may be stained if desired. Heavy staining of genitalia is not recommended as it obscures morphological features when viewed under
a compound scope. In this example the male genitalia is sclerotized enough that staining is not required.
