How to remove chlorophyll from leaves
Cook with alcohol. If you want to label it, then 1. Precautions for saving leaves:

Absorb the water from the leaves with a napkin, then put it in a dictionary or book, or store it in a ventilated and dry place to avoid insects and mildew.

2. The method of making leaf specimens:

(1) pressing method to prepare a wooden specimen holder. When pressing, change the position of the head and tail of the specimen from time to time. In order to promote rapid drying and preserve the inherent color of specimens, hot toilet paper can be replaced once or twice a day on the second or third day after pressing. After the specimen is pressed, sew it on a tough white paper, put a label on the lower right corner, and then put it in the specimen cabinet, and put some camphor to prevent moths.

(2) Immersion method: Immerse the specimen in a specimen bottle filled with alcohol or formalin.

3, veins bookmarks production method:

Mesophyll will rot when it meets corrosive liquid. It will rot faster when heated. Veins are tough and not easy to corrode. So some leaves with hard leaves and tough veins can be made into veins bookmarks.

Tool materials: beaker, tripod, asbestos net, alcohol lamp, match, balance, old toothbrush, tweezers, watercolor pigment, colored silk thread, sodium hydroxide, 3% hydrogen peroxide and osmanthus leaves.

Production process:

1. Pour about 90 ml of water into a beaker, add 10g of sodium hydroxide to the water, put the beaker on an asbestos net, heat it with an alcohol lamp, and boil the solution.

2. Immerse the leaves in the solution, continue to heat for about 15 minutes, and gently stir with tweezers to separate the mesophyll and corrode evenly.

3. When the leaves change color and the mesophyll is brittle, take out the leaves with tweezers and put them in a glass filled with clear water.

4. Take the leaves out of the clear water and put them on the glass. Gently brush the front and back of the leaves with an old toothbrush in running water to brush off the soft parts of the leaves, revealing white veins. Soak the leaves in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours to make them pure white, then take out the leaves, wash them with clear water and drain the water droplets.

5. Put the vein in an old book or newspaper and press it dry.

6. Take out the flattened vein piece, and when the vein is dry, apply watercolor paint on both sides of the vein with a brush, and flatten it after it is slightly dry.

7. Take out the vein slice coated with pigment and tie a colored silk thread on its petiole to get a delicate and beautiful veins bookmarks.

Description and extension:

1. In addition to osmanthus leaves, veins bookmarks can also be made of coral, maple, mulberry, linden, poplar and hazel leaves.

2. When heating, the beaker must be placed on the asbestos net. If heated directly, the beaker will break due to uneven heating.

3. The used liquid medicine can be stored in an empty container for next use. General liquid medicine can be recycled for 4-5 times.

4. If there are too many processed leaves, you can change to a big beaker, and the ratio of water to sodium hydroxide should be 10%.
