N2 - Small pieces of bird tissue from developing feathers, embryos, embryonic gonads and adult testes are treated before fixation in a 0.25% solution of colchicine diluted with an equal volume of hypotonic Pannett and Compton solution containing KCI, 0.336 gm; CaCl2, 0.160 gm; Na2HP04. 12H2O, 0.172 gm; and NaH2PO4. 4H2O, 0.0172 gm per 1000 ml of double distilled water, for 20-30 min at 37° C. This material is subsequently centrifuged at 1000 rev/min for 1-3 min, fixed with acetic alcohol (1:3) and stained with either Gomori's haematoxylin or by Feulgen's procedure. Preparations are frozen in the freezing chamber of a refrigerator for the separation of the cover slips, then mounted in euparal after dehydration in alcohols. With this technique, unclumped and clear preparations of both macrochromosomes and microchromosomes are obtained regularly.
