Answer:
Glycerine is a dehydrating agent, it prevents the drying of the specimen. Apart of that its refractive nature is quite good, which allow it to reflect light properly, which results in showing a clear and sharp image on the microscope.
Safranin is used in preparing a temporary mount of stomata as it imparts color to the tissue, which helps them to view them clearly under the microscope,.
