<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I have several hundred
temporary slide preparations of insects body parts mounted on aqueous gelatin.
As we prepare to photograph, we have been told to completely cover the specimen
with the gelatin mounting and place a cove slip on top. As we melt new gelatin
to comply, the process is invariably creating annoying bubbles, regardless of
how gently we heat the gelatin. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">If we stick to
gelatin, can someone suggest a method to minimize bubbles other than manually
removing them? </span></p>

medium remember, all specimens are temp. mounted i n the gelatin), what aqueous
medium compatible with the aqueous gelatin would you recommend that does not
(ideally) create bubbles (ideally cheap). </span></p>
