Popis: Specimens in the Anatomy Museum are generally mounted on the plastic sheets by stitching them by using thread. As time passes the tissue becomes brittle, especially the brain specimen, which is very delicate and by putting sutures again and again leads to damage to the tissue. Paraffin wax, which is used in the Histology Laboratory for making the blocks, is tried for mounting the specimen instead of the plastic sheet. Itwas found that this method is quite cheap, easy to use and can be repeated without any problem in case anything goes wrong.
