Called "modified Davidson's fixative" in papers published more than 50 years ago, it's 3 parts water 3 parts alcohol 2 parts 37% formaldehyde ("strong formalin", not NBF) 1 part glacial acetic acid No glutaraldehyde. I can provide more information if you need it. Dick Dubielzig (pronounced dooBILLzig) is a veterinary eye pathologist in Madison WI who can probably help. If you can't locate him, I can contact him - he's an old friend of mine.
