Are Euparal, PVA or Canada balsam ok for permanent slides of freshwater amphipods, isopods, copepods, et al.?
Dear Ecolog-Listerss: Undergraduate students working with me and I are coming across oodles of chironomid larvae and pupae from a a little stream we are studying. Less commonly we come across other organisms. Are Euparal, PVA or Canada balsam OK for permanent slides of microscopic freshwater amphipods, isopods, copepods, et al.? Gratefully, Jorge Jorge A.
