Arranged mount with radiolarians.This is a drip preparation. Therefore, small irregularities in density occur from time to time. In addition, the radiolarians already sediment during the dripping process. It is usually not advisable to mix them again, as air bubbles would otherwise form. Preparations that were dripped in a later batch therefore always have a slightly higher density than " earlier" ones.For better quality, choose the more expensive mounts.Slide dimensions: 26 x 76 mmColors on product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.Our pictures are for reference only, when purchasing you will receive a specimen of the same quality.
