Transparent biological specimens are a method of specimen preparation, initially used for scientific research. Kairu sources specimens from discarded catches, invasive species, or deceased farmed organisms. Through a multi-step process involving various reagents and dyes, without damaging the organism's integrity, these soon-to-vanish remains are reborn as exquisitely beautiful and unique transparent specimens. https://www.pinkoi.com/product/juJtP3HX (DIY Kairu’s Marine Lab Series Transparent Specimen Making Kit) **// Product Specifications //** // Contents // Transparent biological specimen fountain pen 30ml deep blue ink Cartridge converter Dropper Illustrated instruction manual Product warranty card // Pen Colors // champagne gold sand chrome Silver sky blue pink **Designed by Kairu Eco-Art Studio / Made in Taiwan** **// Marine Biology 101 //** Acetes intermedius (Red-tailed shrimp) This crustacean has a slender, very soft yet resilient body. The supraorbital spines are absent, and the rostrum is typically shorter than the eyes. The dorsal side of segments 1-5 is smooth, while segment 6 is slightly humped. The telson does not exceed three pairs or is absent. Male individuals possess hooked claspers on the first pleopod. The first maxilliped has an exopod and endopod, the second maxilliped has only an endopod, and the third maxilliped and pereiopods lack exopods but possess gills. Acetes intermedius inhabits nearshore environments and is abundant. Due to significant price differences with sakura shrimp, unscrupulous vendors sometimes sell processed Acetes intermedius as fake sakura shrimp. It is an important economic catch, typically harvested using midwater trawls. In some regions, triangular nets, lift nets, hand nets, or fire lure nets are used for its capture. **// Precautions //** > This product is a biological specimen made from deceased organisms through post-processing, with sources primarily from discarded catches or naturally deceased creatures. > For normal writing use only.
