Literature listed under the following higher taxa may also be relevant to GASTROPODA (slugs and snails):
BioImages (www.bioimages.org.uk) has 1,805 images of GASTROPODA (slugs and snails) |
To prepare microscope slides of the radula:
1. Gently cut off or extract the head region of the dead snail. |
2. Macerate in 5% KOH in a hot waterbath until the tissues disintegrate, (about 10 mins for a small snail) |
3. Find the radula (not always easy! Even adding Safranin to the alkali doesn’t help) |
4. Stain in Safranin |
5. Wash |
6. Make a temporary mount in lactophenol (but this tends to dissolve out the stain: need to experiment with other stains eg Lignin Pink) |
