Hi all,

I am an amateur naturalist.
I like to study the histology of animal tissues by an optical microscope in transmitted light.
I am interested to land (terrestrial) snails.
I know for relaxing the snail to use a solution of 50mM of MgCl2 by an injection (2 ml.) into the foot.
Could someone give me some detailed information how to proceed to the snail dissection?
Thank you.
With my Best Regards,

Massimo
