Polyester resin as a mounting medium for light microscopy
W. Senior · Journal of Microscopy · 1970
SUMMARY The use of a commercially available polyester resin is described for the production of whole‐mount preparations and as a mounting medium for histological sections. Any standard technique can be used which involves xylene as the clearing agent. It is considered that the slides produced are much stronger than those made with traditional mounting media and do not require long drying times before use. The method is particularly suitable for mounting thick specimens for teaching purposes.
