چکیده

LUCITE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CANADA BALSAM WHEN MOUNTING MICROSCOPE SLIDES' LUCITE2 is a crystal-clear methyl methacrylate polymere which has a refractive index nearly the same as glass and is readily soluble in dioxan. Dioxan3 has proven useful as a dehydrating agent for the preparation of sections and objects to be mounted for observation with the microscope. Thus with the Lucite in dioxan solution it should be possible to mount the preparations as soon as they are dehydrated. In fact,

Development of a Double Glass Mounting Method Using Formaldehyde Alcohol Azocarmine Lactophenol (FAAL) and its Evaluation for Permanent Mounting of Small Nematodes

BACKGROUND Permanent slide preparation of nematodes especially small ones is time consuming, difficult and they become scarious margins. Regarding this problem, a modified double glass mounting method was developed and compared with classic method. METHODS A total of 209 nematode samples from human and animal origin were fixed and stained with Formaldehyde Alcohol Azocarmine Lactophenol (FAAL...

Loctite UV 357 polymerised glass adhesive as a section mounting medium.

The permanent encapsulation of cell monolayers and histological sections on to microscope slides is usually performed using a plastic and solvent system such as XAM or DPX (British Drug Houses, Poole, Dorset UK). Because of the solubility of some of the coloured stain and reaction products increasingly used in newer enzyme substrate based staining techniques and the damage caused to sections fr...

Mounting live cells onto microscope slides.

This protocol describes the mounting of cells which have been grown on cleaned coverslips in cell culture dishes containing the appropriate medium and supplements. Labeling is performed with the coverslips placed in culture dishes. After cells are labeled, the coverslips can be mounted onto microscope slides to be viewed for short-term observation of live cells or longer-term observation of fix...

Comparison of mounting methods for the evaluation of fibers by phase contrast microscopy.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate mounting methods for fiber examination of air sample filters by phase contrast microscopy (PCM) and to evaluate differences in fiber counts that might be due to fiber movement. Acetone/triacetin (AT) with various amounts of triacetin and acetone/Euparal (AE) where the mounting medium was placed between the cleared filter wedge and the coverslip were...

The method of cutting, which consists of a continuous raising of the screw with the left hand simultaneously with a rapid to and fro movement of the knife, without any attempt to adapt the screw at each cut. This is not only rapid, but gives exceedingly good sections, although the exact measurement of them is not attempted. 3. The method of mounting perm...
