Mummified tissue from the upper arm of the six-year-old child was processed according to various rehydration and staining schedules. A 0.2% concentration of the wetting agent "Comfort" in a 0.9% saline was found useful. Staining with Eskelund's combined Alcian blue-van Gieson-elastin and haematoxylin-phloxine-saffron made it possible to distinguish between human and non-human structures. Remnants of the eyelids, sclera, choroid, lens and retina with melanine granules were found in the orbits. These structures revealed no sign of intravital lesions.
