| METHODS: In the laboratory environment, species such as leeches (Hirudo sp.), Fasciola sp., Taenia sp., Enterobius vermicularis; arthropods such as hard ticks (Ixodidae), Reduviidae, Anopheles sp. were made permanent using epoxy resin. The samples were first subjected to appropriate fixation and dehydration processes, then carefully positioned and embedded in epoxy resin. The applied method was optimized to preserve the morphological integrity and three-dimensional structure of the parasites.RESULTS: Epoxy resin has offered significant advantages such as high optical transparency, superior mechanical strength, the ability to create three-dimensional preparations and the capacity to preserve fine morphological details of parasites for a long time. It was observed that the preparations prepared in the study remained stable for a long time without deteriorating their physical structures and losing their optical properties. Compared to traditional methods, epoxy resin was found to provide a structure that is more resistant to environmental factors and does not deform over time.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Epoxy resin has been evaluated as a fast and practical technique that provides high mounting quality for both helminths and arthropods. Its ability to maintain optical clarity, mechanical durability, and structural integrity over time makes this method a promising alternative for long-term specimen preservation and microscopic examination. The use of epoxy resin for educational and research purposes offers a valuable contribution to parasitology laboratories. |
