Cow eye dissection is popular because of the similarity to the human eye. See the cornea, iris, pupil, connecting muscles and veins, and other features. This is a plain preserved specimen of an adult cow eye.
Note: Dissection specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced with water and then with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which can be stored almost indefinitely. We recommend that you use specimens within one year of purchase to ensure the best tissue quality. Specimen discoloration over time is normal and does not indicate decay.
Store your specimens at normal room temperature--refrigeration is not required. Storage in attics or garages at high temperatures will damage the specimens. Once opened, specimens can be resealed in a Zip-lock bag to prevent them from drying out for later use.
Great specimen. I did a dissection for a class grades 1-3, and a class grades 4-6. They all loved it!
A great dissection!

A great specimen at a great price. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot along the way. We are so glad we didn't "squeam" out of this one!

These were very good specimens and we were really able to see the parts of the eye we have been studying. Great price too!

Best eye specimen I have ordered. I am an eye doctor and go into the classroom quite frequently to dissect the cow eye to compare and contrast it to the human eye. Muscles and optic nerve were already exposed which saved me dissecting time to find these structures. Fast delivery and no strong preservative smell. A+++++++++ company to deal with. Dr. Joseph Raffa

The cow eyes were well preserved and had little smell. The dissection specimens were great visual aids for my anatomy class and really helped the students understand the structure of the eye.

Purchased 2 specimens - both were well preserved - no odor. We used an online dissection guide to complete the activity.
