Graphic representation of the slide mounting technique. 1. dehydration process using different ethanol concentrations and clove oil (m = minutes); 2. preparation of the microscope slide and dissection of the specimens; 3. 24-hour lapse for drying the euparal and checking the correct positions of dissected body parts; 4. Placement cover glasses and drying process.
