The frozen brain was sliced at a thickness of 1 cm. Then the sections were placed in 10% formol saline and then dehydrated in 3 changes of acetone for 3 days. Fig. 3. Photograph showing delineation of grey and white mater of brain using berlin blue staining (A) and unstained (B Fig. 1. Photograph showing slicing of brain Fig. 2. Photograph showing the serially arranged section After dehydration sections were infiltrated with melted jelly wax for 5 minutes. All the infiltrated sections were placed in melted jelly wax and allowed to solidify. Then the sections were covered with glass sheets and serially arranged in a long glass sheet. Such specimen will be of a great use for the developing countries for the preparation of sheet plastination. This can be used for the detailed study of CT scan and MRI in the diagnostic method under veterinary medicine.
