I did these preps 50 yrs ago, when I was at the last year of high school (Turin, Italy)! Nothing is changed in the methods, exept we used paper strips instead of glass slides . Thanks a lot for reminding me of a wonderful time of my scientific training. Now I'm a Surgical pathologist (well ... semi retired), but enthomology training was, in some way, usefull for my profession (how to handle small and delicate surgical specimens). I'm not joking ...
Wonderful video!
