A rapid method for slide mounting of minute radulae, with a bibliography of radula mounting techniques

A method for rapidly cleaning, staining and mounting many minute radulae is detailed through the use of many-chambered, deep-well slides, together with the use of CMC as a combined stain/mounting medium. A bibliography of literature on mounting radulae for both light and scanning electron microscopy is provided.
