A simple, cheap, one-minute method to mount insect pins for use as sharp-tipped probes in plant dissection

A new method is presented for twist mounting insect pins onto standard dissecting (teasing) needles. Insect pins, with their sharp points, are ideal for fine dissection of plants, especially of shoot tips and early developing flower buds. Twist mounting makes them convenient and effective dissecting tools to prepare specimens for SEM.

Keywords     SEM, dissection tools, insect pins, shoot tip, flower bud, whole mount
