[Taxacom] Water soluble mounting media

[Dan Lahr]

Hi Richard,

Thank you for this link, I found the article quite helpful and will try a
couple of these.

I have been looking for a water soluble medium for permanent mounting of
testate amoeba slides.  Balsam (any kind) is a pain, and the classical
Euparal is quite hard to make and recently I have not been able to find all
ingredients.  Do you have any recommendations? I noticed you mention
glycerin-jelly as semi-permanent, but perhaps in appropriate controlled
environment?

Thanks,

Dan
