 Clip Cages |
Clip
Cages Economical Ideal for aphids and whiteflies fieldwork
Made in the UKUse Clip Cages to study aphids and whiteflies outside. The three point fixing system ensures a tight fit over the leaf, and minimises aphid escape. The compressible grey foam minimises damage to the structure of the leaf. The clear plastic cylinders enable light transmission and easy observation of the aphids. The fabric mesh attached to these viewing areas allows for sufficient ventilation. The top and bottom of the Clip Cage are identical, allowing for simultaneous observation of aphids both under the leaf and on top of the leaf. When the field trial is completed, each Clip Cage should be carefully cleaned in cold water, ideally under a running tap, and left to air dry overnight. Specification: The clear viewing cylinders are 2cm diameter and 1cm high. Fine mesh is glued across the outer tops of these for ventilation. The compressible grey foam has outer diameter of 4.5cm. The three point fixing system ensures a tight fit over the leaf, and minimises aphid escape. |
