In temporary mounting glycerin is used for the following reasons...
1. it is a pretty good dehydrating agent
2. Due to its refractive nature it tends to reflect the light better and as a consequence the image is clearer and better under microscope- observation.
3. transparent so image is better
4. easy to slide a cover slip on a glycerin drop
