EQUINE ANATOMY PLASTINATE DISPLAYS MAKE EVERYTHING PERFECTLY CLEAR

Imagine a colorized radiograph encased in thick resin acrylic...but the image is actually a thin slice of animal tissue, treated and vacuum-pressed to the thickness of a piece of light-permeable paper and sealed in durable acrylic. Oblivious to spills and scratches, your specimen is one of a kind. You may wish to collect a set of reference specimen illustrating pathologies or use normal tissue for comparative anatomy. German anatomist Christoph von Horst PhD DVMs patented veterinary applications elevate animal science and medicine and nd many practical uses. For the rst time, equine plastinate specimen are now offered to U.S. colleges and veterinary practices by Hoofcare Publishing.

ANATOMY AS ART NATURE AS DESIGNER

How can we improve on nature? Only by opening the view more, to reveal the simple power of the horses limb in crisp, clear acrylic. No distraction, no decoration can improve on natures design. Sometimes, as corporate awards or gifts, a companys name can be engraved or screened on the acrylic by special arrangement. And if nature is to be a teacher, certain structures in the plastinates can be pointed out with labels. Plastinates are available in three types: 1. Plain (no visible acrylic, although the tissue is impregnated; 2. Thin which emulates a radiograph and can be used in clinical settings as a living x-ray, or in ofce settings as a display on an acrylic easel; 3. Thick, the most impressive, freestanding model, which catches light and acts like a piece of sculpture holding an element of one of natures greatest creations, the horse.

In addition to actual tissue plastinates, as shown on these pages, framed prints and posters of single specimen or arrangements of comparative specimen can be printed for framing as gifts or lamination as teaching aids.
