Whenever the larval cultures are to be kept at about 24OC any
type of container, the lower part of which is immersed in the bath,
will maintain this temperature because convection currents within
veaaels prevent temperature stratification. Even in oontainera of

unit can be adjusted independently and mairitaiiid at any desired level within
the range from 5* to 37°C. If necosnary. all iiriita may be maintained at the oame
temperature.
Merent sizes and shapes the temperature will vary only dightly,
