Good afternoon, everyone.
Nov29, I visited the taxonomy laboratory. I would like to
study about preservation of frozen sample and photography technique. The
frozen samples were deep-sea fishes. I never see the species of fish in Thailand.
It's exciting and mysterious for me. First, they classified the fishes to Order
or Family. The traits were measured for each specimen such as standard length and
weight. The specimen's fin were fixed by formalin and bring to make a photo. They
used photo machine (I call it that) for make a fish's photo which it's easy and
quick. My university didn't has this machine and I used only camera with tripod
for make a photo which it's very slow. I like this machine. I'm Sorry for late
Thank you.
