Extract

Berlese's fluid has been known to entomologists for many years as a medium for making microscope mounts of small Arthropods; it has not been widely used, for which its unreliable keeping quality is perhaps partly responsible. It was developed by the late Professor A. Berlese, chiefly as a mountant for mites; apparently he did not publish the formula.
