Step by step for those who already have some experience
Desiccate the larvae of Taenia bovis with a succession of ethyl alcohol 70, 80, 90 and 100%, for 1 to 4 hours each;
Crimson Flood in hydrochloric or similar (optional);
Creosote clarify-of-Beech, until translucent;
Place in glass sheet or lamina excavated;
Add a few drops of 3-4 Canada balsam;
Cover with glass coverslip;
Complete the parts with more empty Balsamo;
Let dry for about 6 months.
* If necessary to complete month by month, with Balsamo to cover the entire inner area of the coverslip.
** I do not know the translation for the canada balsam, but it is a resin or gum arabic used for mounting permanent slides of nematodes and platyhelmintos
Excuse my bad English.
