Excerpt from Fishery Bulletin of the Fish and Wildlife Service, 1959, Vol. 59
Dissections were performed under a stereo microscope. Dissecting needles which were sharpened to fine points in mixtures of strong nitric acid and ethyl alcohol were employed. Lo cations of muscles and attachments, and other skeletal details were studied on Specimens of white Shrimps cleared in strong alkali and stained with Van Gieson’s Triple Stain (curtis’ Modi fication). The outlines of whole structures were used as templates within which muscles and other organs were sketched in layers on tracing paper as the dissections progressed. The tracings were transferred to drawing papers on a light box. The drawings were finished in ink and carbon pencil.
