About This Product
The block is used in entomology, zoology and taxonomy practicals. After the pin is inserted through the specimen under teacher supervision, it is placed in a suitable hole or step of the block and the specimen is slid to the correct level; other levels set the identification label and, if required, the collection data label at uniform heights. The pinned specimen is then moved to a pinning board, cork board or display box.
