Notes
The methods to prepare rotifer trophi for light and scanning electron microscopy are reviewed, and the rapid method used by the author is described. Rotifers are dissolved in a minimal amount of sodium hypochlorite solution on a coverslip, and serially rinsed in distilled water. The entire procedure is done under a microscope using micropipettes.
