Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of specimen preservation equipment, in particular to a tick specimen preservation device for observation under a microscope. Background Art

[0002] Ticks are an important type of disease vector, belonging to the class Arachnida, the subclass Acari, the order Parasitformes, and the order Ixodida. Ticks carry the largest number of pathogens among arachnids and have the strongest ability to spread diseases. Among them, the most common and most harmful to humans and livestock are the Ixodidae, which can spread a variety of diseases such as forest encephalitis, tick-borne relapsing fever, Q fever, Babesia, and Lyme disease. Ticks and tick-borne diseases widely affect the health of humans and animals worldwide and cause significant economic losses;

[0003] At present, the microscopic observation of tick specimens and the preservation of specimens are handled separately. Usually, the preservation of tick specimens is achieved by soaking in 75% alcohol. When conducting morphological observations, the tick specimens need to be taken out of the alcohol soaking solution, placed in a flat dish, and observed under a stereo microscope. After the observation work is completed, the tick specimens are placed back into the preservation solution. During this period, the tick specimens need to be taken out of the preservatives repeatedly. During the observation process, the alcohol and other preservatives used for preservation lose their preservative effect when the tick specimens are taken out of the preservation solution. In this case, the tick specimens are placed under the light of the microscope to bake. When the microscopic observation is completed, the tick specimens are often in a dry state; moreover, the preservatives currently used for tick soaking specimens are mostly 75% alcohol, which is a volatile substance. The specimen bottle containing the tick soaking specimens is inevitably evaporated after being opened many times and the specimens are taken out. The change in concentration will directly affect the preservation quality of the tick specimens.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a tick specimen preservation device for microscopic observation that has a simple structure and can simultaneously realize the functions of tick preservation and microscopic observation is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
