A kind of insect liquid immersion specimen box

Abstract

The invention provides an insect liquid immersion specimen box, comprising: a cylindrical transparent glass container, the top opening of the glass container is provided with a screw-tight top cover, and several A mesh isolation plate that can be freely disassembled, and a number of centrifuge tube holes are distributed on the mesh isolation plate. The insect liquid immersion specimen box provided by the present invention not only ensures that a large number of soaked specimens can be stored through the designed isolation plate, but also can better fix the position of the specimens and facilitate searching.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of insect research, in particular to an insect liquid immersion specimen box. Background technique [0002] Insects are the most prosperous animals in the world, with more than 1 million species discovered, more than all other animal species combined. Due to the large number of insects, the body size is relatively small, except for individual groups (such as Lepidoptera), most of them can be soaked in alcohol for long-term preservation. The preservation of insect specimens, especially the preservation of type specimens, is very important for the identification of morphological characteristics and the traceability of later identification results, especially in the publication of papers and books. [0003] But for now, needle-inserted specimens have corresponding specimen boxes for long-term storage, while for liquid-immersed specimens (mainly alcohol-immersed), they are generally placed in small tubes, and t...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] But as far as the current situation is concerned, there are corresponding specimen boxes for needle-inserted specimens that can be stored for a long time, while for liquid-soaked specimens (mainly soaked in alcohol), they are generally placed in small tubes and then placed in larger jars for long-term storage (small There is alcohol in the tube, but the general small tube is not well sealed, and the alcohol will gradually decrease with the passage of time, so when putting alcohol in the small tube, the jar must also be filled with alcohol. If the alcohol decreases, only Just need to replenish the alcohol in the jar); since the jar itself is not designed for storing insect specimens, the size of its mouth and the fluidity in the bottle are not suitable for storing specimens more conveniently, and it is often time-consuming to search for specimens in the later stage. Time-consuming and labor-intensive, usually to find a specimen of an insect, you need to take out all the specimens in the entire light bottle and search slowly

The above problems waste a lot of time and energy of researchers, and can not achieve good results
