    Abstract:

    INTRODUCTIONAfter a specimen is labeled, coverslips containing cells or tissues are mounted onto microscope slides, or slides containing sections are overlaid with a coverslip. A number of recipes for commonly used mounting media are presented in this article, each with particular recommendations.

    Fixation and Sectioning

    Two basic types of preparation are used to visualize specimens with a light microscope: wet mounts and fixed specimens.
    The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
