How the dissecting board is used
The board gives each student or group a stable, pinnable base for a practical. The specimen is placed on the board, fixed with dissecting pins and opened with scissors and forceps. Soft wood accepts pins without a hammer, and the raised rim stops the water or preserving fluid used to keep the specimen moist from running onto the bench.
The larger 550 x 400 mm board suits bigger specimens or a demonstration dissection at the teacher's bench, while the 450 x 300 mm board fits an individual student place. After the practical the board is wiped clean and dried before storage.
