Diaphonized Octopus in Antique Ground Glass Lab Jar





Diaphonized Octopus in Antique Ground Glass Lab Jar
Displayed here is a full octopus specimen preserved through diaphonization: soft tissues cleared to near transparency, with its skeletal/cartilaginous structures and internal anatomy rendered visible. The jar’s antique ground‑glass body gives the piece a vintage, classical‑science feel, as though pulled from an old‑world naturalist’s cabinet.
The tentacles, mantle, and all anatomical features are suspended in clear fluid — every curve, suction‑cup lining, and internal detail discernible in subtle clarity. Because the jar is permanently sealed, there’s no risk of leakage or fluid loss — no maintenance needed; the piece remains ready for display indefinitely. This is a rare, striking specimen that blends scientific intrigue with an aesthetic, museum‑worthy presentation.
