[Nhcoll-l] Cleared and Stained

[Simon Moore]

Hi Greg,

I am presuming that these are on a rotary disc and can be changed around?  I have always used quick-setting permanent mounts (hydramount or hystomount) or at least semi-permanent for these else the coverslips can shift slightly and introduce air bubbles.  Oterhwise it depends on the stains used and their lability with long(er)-term glycerine mounting. 

With all good wishes, Simon

  Has anybody displayed a cleared and stained specimen long-term in an exhibit gallery?  We've had a few temporary exhibits with them, but they were always a bit problematic.  I'm wondering how they do long-term given lighting, the discoloring of glycerin, etc.
