Best D.mel ganglion ?

[Christophe Roos]

Dear reader,

For the purpose of demonstration during a course I would need to dissect 
ganglions from the fly. As I have never done it before I would be glad if I 
could get some help with the following questions:

   - What stage / ganglion is the easiest to isolate by hand dissection?
   - In what medium / Ringer can it be dissected (if critical)?
   - If I want to keep it alive some time, then in what medium?
   - Any reference with figures?

Thank you for your help

Christophe
