A method of dissection that provides undamaged, intact retinas is described. Whole eyes are soaked successively in 10% buffered formaldehyde, distilled water, 60% alcohol, and distilled water. The eye globe is divided into two sections and the whole retina is removed by a gravity flow technic. The retina is then clover-leafed, stained, and mounted on a glass slide. (Author)
