Hello!❤️
Leaf peels are mounted in glycerine to prevent it from drying. Glycerine is a hygroscopic compound which forms a layer of moisture over the leaf peel.
Hope this helps

Answer:
It avoids the drying of the specimen. Besides, glycerine tends to reflect light due to its refractive nature. As a result of it, image appears clearer under the microscope.
★ Due to these reasons, glycerine is used while preparing temporary mount of leaf peel.
