Those who would like to try a new, simple, nonpoisonous, cheap, reliable mounting medium for microslides might check out my paper in Phytoneuron:

Before her tragic death, Franco-Rosselli was developing a track analysis
approach to her taxonomic group Cecropia and had identified commonalities
between the results of her analyses and earlier studies by Croizat.
Interestingly (at least for those who study developmental genetics) this
genus also caught Croizat's attention for its evolutionary morphology
because Azteca ants utilized the plant for shelter and food. Unlike the
coevolutionists who regarded the mode of entry into the hollow internode as
a random mutation, Croizat recognized that the structural symmetry required
the tissues to represent the final phase in the loss of a former branching
meristem. Similarly, the sources of food in the form of specialized
glandular structures on the leaf were also identified the result of
inactivated and modified structural meristems.
