Plastinated Slices
Cross sections of real specimens provide insight into the perfect interplay between the systems and structures of the human body.
Embracing everything from an aesthetic overview to the finest detail, every single plastinate reveals an unaltered and credible
basic understanding of life science and anatomical contexts.
The “Tissue Tracing Technique” allows us to view complex anatomical structures and provides a completely new understanding
of fundamental functional interconnections. High-grade plastic materials, each with a defined refraction index adapted to the
respective tissue, are applied to penetrate the tissue, making it transparent.
To ensure practically unlimited durability, the plastinated slices are cast between acrylic protection layers. Each acrylic layer is
10 mm thick and protects the plastinate against UV rays, scratches and other damage.
Customized items are available upon request.

Monarch – Danaus genutia (Cramer)
Monarchs are the only butterflies that migrate. They fly south each autumn
and return north in spring when the weather is warmer. This is why they
are also called “wanderers”. A monarch butterfly has large, colourful wings
and small front legs. Its wingspan is about 10 cm across. Monarchs are
brown or orange-brown, with black and white markings. These Real Mon-
arch Butterfly specimens (10 cm) are encased in a clear circular acrylic.
Supplied with storage box.
