Mounting media
Primary description:
Different mounting media for permanent covering of samples and mounting microscopy cover slips.
Researchers typically use a mounting medium to maintain their samples good condition, either for a short period or for long-term storage and preservation.
Choosing the appropriate riser will determine:
To help hold a specimen in place while you are imaging
To prevent your sample from drying out
To more closely match the refractive index for the objective you will use
To preserve your sample over time for long-term storage
