They may also be preserved by adding a few crystals of carbolic acid to the ?uid containing them (about six or eight grains of crystallized carbolic acid to each ounce of liquid), but the outlines of the cells have not the clearness shown by those preserved in potassium acetate. Most algae are much better for examination when preserved in a ?uid medium than when dried. On drying they usually collapse, and on being soaked out they very often do not reattain their original torm.
