Plastic UV Mount Mounting Media

Designed for coverslipping epoxy, methacrylate, and deparaffinized sections directly from water or alcohol. Plastic UV Mount matches the refractive index of JB-4 embedded sections, since the JB-4 embedding resin is not removed prior to staining. Methacrylate based Plastic UV Mount avoids optical distortion and improves the final image. When applied to sections with a small amount of xylene, Plastic UV Mount "hardens" permanently within 2 minutes with exposure to long UV light, thus obviating leaching of stains. Slides must be coverslipped for viewing.
