Star Fish Museum Specimen (Preserved Sea Star Specimen)
The Starfish Museum Specimen is an authentic zoological display showcasing a representative sea star (commonly belonging to the genus Asterias), the quintessential model organism for the Class Asteroidea and Phylum Echinodermata. Curated and preserved under strict marine laboratory standards, this wet specimen offers students, marine biology undergraduates, and researchers a tangible, permanent physical reference for understanding deuterostome evolution, pentaradial symmetry, water vascular systems, and specialized benthic predatory adaptations. It serves as an essential teaching benchmark across university zoology departments, marine science institutes, and higher secondary biology practical classrooms throughout Bangladesh.
Studying echinoderm morphology, ambulacral food grooves, dermal branchiae, and the aboral-oral axis can be challenging when relying solely on 2D textbook diagrams or brittle dried specimens that conceal delicate hydraulic structures. This museum jar specimen resolves that barrier by presenting a real, intact starfish suspended in a crystal-clear, leak-proof borosilicate glass container. The specimen clearly exhibits the central disc radiating into five tapered arms, calcareous spines embedded in the tough leathery integument, the aboral sieve-like madreporite plate, and the oral surface featuring the central mouth opening and open ambulacral grooves lined with rows of preserved tube feet (podia). The archival-grade preservative fluid maintains structural tissue suppleness and prevents decomposition over decades of continuous institutional display.
Engineered for durability and safety, the display jar features a secure, leak-proof closure system that locks in the fluid. Each unit includes clear taxonomic labeling (Phylum: Echinodermata, Class: Asteroidea) for instant identification during practical examinations. Victor Scientific Co. supplies high-grade biological specimens and museum display gear nationwide with secure packaging and reliable delivery across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.
