So….How do you examine the skeleton without removing it from the body?

Diaphonization is a chemical process that renders the soft tissue of the body transparent. The bone and cartilage are then stained with special dyes to make them visible through the transparent body.

The red coloring in these, comes from Alizarin, a pigment found in the dark red roots of the madder plant. It’s been used to dye fabric since ancient egypt. It possesses the curious proclivity to seek out and bond to calcium particles, making it an ideal stain for bone, and a vital component of many medical diagnostic procedures.

I took an interest in this process sometime last year. Here are some things I’ve made.
