An effective method for preparing histological sections of blow fly intra-puparial stages for minimum PMI estimations

We present here an effective method for the preparation of histological sections of blow fly intra-puparial stages, maximising the paraffin infiltration while enabling the production of clean and entire sections that allow for the use of reliable age-specific morphological markers, thus improving the accuracy ofminPMI estimations when access to more costly techniques is not feasible.
