The color photography of gross specimens.
A method of color preservation and photography of gross specimens is presented in this article. The natural color and physical consistency of the preserved specimens assure "true to life" color photographs. The author explains how his institution's system of combining the Autopsy Review Conference with the photography of specimens saves much staff and employee time since the final gross descriptions and dissections are accomplished concurrently with the photography. A systematic method of photography is illustrated which eliminates most of the exposure determination functions that are time-consuming and subject to error.
