Amazing Fish Specimens Photographs
Washington-based professor adam summers
uses marine specimens collected from fishing operations as the medium
in an artistic project revealing the anatomical structure of sea
creatures. using two dyes – alcian blue to stain cartilaginous
elements and alizarin red to turn tissue a shade of crimson — summers
then lightly bleaches the species to remove dark pigments, leaving a
snow-white fish.
