摘要
A method to mount radulae for low-magnification SEM study is described. The wet radula was arranged over the adhesive side of a piece of adhesive tape. The addition of a few drops of liquid delayed desiccation, permitting the radula to be positioned. A piece of clear plastic film was added to form a desiccation chamber. Pinpricks around the radula allowed it to desiccate slowly. The desiccation chamber was then cut near the radula, and the radula and its adhesive base were mounted on an SEM stub. The method is simple and prepares radulae with little deformation.
