Abstract
The adult house fly, Musca domestica L., has proved an excellent experimental animal for studies of chemosterilants and their effects on reproductive tissue. However, the majority of this research is cytological in nature, so a need existed for additional techniques that could be used in the study of these organs. Whiting (1950) reported a method of preparing whole mounts of Arbacia eggs, Chaetopterus eggs and larvae, small nematodes, small insect ovaries, eggs, and embryos. By modifying this procedure, I was able to obtain consistently good whole-mount preparations from the gonads of adult male and female house flies.
